Interview Process
The interview consisted of two parts: a coding round followed by behavioral questions. In the coding round, I was asked to solve a problem involving string manipulation. The interviewer was keen on understanding my thought process and asked me to explain my approach. I was able to solve the problem and provided an optimized solution using O(n) time complexity.
For the behavioral part, the interviewer asked about my previous experience and how I handle conflict in team settings. I shared a specific example of a group project where I had to mediate between differing opinions and ensure that the project stayed on track. Overall, the interviewer was friendly and interested in my experiences, making it easier to communicate. I left the interview feeling positive about my performance and looking forward to their feedback.
