Interview Process
The interview process started with some behavioral questions regarding my past experiences and how they relate to the position. Then, I was asked to solve a coding problem involving arrays. The challenge was to find the maximum subarray sum, which required me to implement a solution using Kadane’s algorithm. After that, we discussed the solution collaboratively, and I was engaged in a conversation about edge cases. Towards the end, I had the opportunity to ask questions about the team and the role, which were well received. I felt a mutual interest and compatibility with the interviewer, and the entire process was very friendly and supportive. Overall, I believe that I performed well, and I am looking forward to their response.
