Interview Process
The technical interview consisted of a coding challenge where I was asked to solve the Robot Grid Distance Challenge. The interviewer was very friendly and provided guidance when I got stuck. The challenge involved calculating the minimum distance for a robot to travel from the top-left corner to the bottom-right corner of a grid filled with obstacles. I was required to implement a breadth-first search (BFS) algorithm to find the shortest path.
I spent time discussing the algorithm’s complexity and possible edge cases with the interviewer. After implementing the solution, we went through the test cases together. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’m looking forward to hearing back from them.
