Interview Process
The interview experience consisted of two parts: behavioral questions and technical discussions. The interviewer was friendly and engaging. They started with typical behavioral questions, such as asking about a time I faced a challenge in a project. I explained my process in detail, focusing on a significant project where I had to solve various unexpected issues. The interviewer followed up with questions about my technical skills, understanding of the code, and overall approach to problem-solving during the project. We then moved on to a technical question that required me to write a function to find the maximum number in an array. I explained my thought process out loud while coding it in the shared editor. They were supportive and provided hints when I faced any challenges. Overall, it was an insightful experience that tested both my behavioral skills and technical knowledge.
Technical Questions
- Find the maximum number in an array (Array, Max)
