Interview Process
The interview was split into two parts: a coding exercise followed by behavioral questions. For the coding part, I was asked to solve a problem related to binary trees, specifically finding the maximum depth of a binary tree. I explained my approach before coding, and the interviewer appreciated my thought process and later asked me to optimize my solution. In the behavioral section, I discussed my experience with team projects and conflict resolution, sharing an example from my internship where I mediated a disagreement between team members.
Technical Questions
- Maximum Depth of Binary Tree (Tree, Depth-First Search)
- Binary Tree Level Order Traversal (Tree, Breadth-First Search)
Tips & Insights
- Focus on explaining your thought process clearly during coding interviews.
- Prepare examples from your past experiences to discuss during behavioral questions, especially around teamwork and conflict resolution.
