Interview Process
The interview process consisted of a coding portion followed by a behavioral discussion. For the coding part, I was asked to solve a problem on a shared coding platform. I implemented a depth-first search algorithm to traverse a tree, ensuring to explain my logic as I coded. After the coding segment, the interviewer discussed my thought process and asked about the time and space complexity of my solution. In the behavioral part, we discussed my past experiences, particularly focusing on a project I led during my internship. I was asked about challenges faced and how I overcame them, as well as how I approach teamwork. Overall, the interviewer was very friendly and encouraging throughout the process. I gained insights into the company culture and the specific team’s work style, which made me even more excited about the opportunity to possibly work with them.
