There was a follow-up question regarding how to replace an element in each subarray and optimize the solution. The candidate felt nervous and struggled to articulate their thoughts, leading to a discussion about the complexity of different methods used.
The second round was a behavioral interview. Questions focused on the candidate’s experience in supporting team dynamics, preferences for leadership styles, handling disagreements within the team, and responding to individuals who prioritize personal needs over team objectives.
