Interview Process
The interview consisted of both coding and behavioral questions. For the coding part, I was asked to solve two problems on the spot: one involved tree traversal and the other focused on dynamic programming. I used the online coding platform to share my screen and write my code. The behavioral part included questions about my past projects and how I handled team conflicts. The interviewer was friendly and provided feedback during the coding problems, which helped me improve my logic on the fly. Overall, it was a great experience, and I felt I had a solid chance of moving forward in the interview process.
