Interview Process

I had a tech phone screen with hims & hers for a software engineer role. The interviewer was friendly and focused primarily on coding questions. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. The interview lasted about 45 minutes.

The first question was related to data structures, where I was asked to implement a basic data structure and explain its operations. The interviewer walked me through the process and was interested in my thought process and efficiency.

The second part involved a coding challenge where I had to solve a problem on a platform like LeetCode. The problem was a classic one involving arrays and required some optimizations.

Finally, we discussed my past experience and the projects I worked on, which helped relate my background to their needs.

Technical Questions

  1. Implement Data Structure (Data Structures, Array)
  2. Two Sum (Array, Hash Table)

Tips & Insights

Be prepared to explain your thought process during coding challenges, and relate your previous experiences to the role you are applying for.
