Interview Process
The interview consisted of two main parts: a coding interview and a behavioral interview. In the coding interview, I was asked to solve a problem related to binary trees, specifically finding the maximum depth of a binary tree. I explained my thought process and implemented a recursive solution. The interviewer followed up with questions about optimizing my solution and considering edge cases. I discussed various approaches, including iterative solutions and breadth-first search.
After the coding portion, we transitioned into the behavioral interview, where the interviewer asked about my previous projects, teamwork experiences, and conflict resolution strategies. I provided examples that highlighted my teamwork and problem-solving skills.
Overall, I felt confident about my performance, especially in the coding section, but I remain hopeful yet realistic about the outcome.
