Interview Process
The interview process consisted of a mix of coding questions and behavioral questions. I was initially asked about my background and experience, which helped set the stage for the technical part of the interview.
In terms of coding, one of the main problems was related to graph traversal. I had to implement an algorithm to find the shortest path in a grid, which was quite challenging. The interviewer was supportive and provided hints when I got stuck.
After that, we transitioned into behavioral questions. I was asked about a time when I faced a significant challenge in a project and how I overcame it. This allowed me to showcase my problem-solving skills, and I felt that I articulated my thoughts clearly.
Overall, I felt positive about the interview experience, though I’m waiting to hear back on the final outcome.
Technical Questions
- Shortest Path in a Grid (BFS, Graph)
- Graph Traversal (DFS, Graph)
Tips & Insights
