Interview Process

The phone screen started with a brief introduction. I was asked about my background and experience. Then, the interviewer presented a coding challenge: the Robot Grid Distance Challenge. The task was to determine the shortest path for a robot on a grid. I explained my thought process and implemented a solution using BFS. The interviewer asked follow-up questions on optimizing the code. Overall, the experience was quite technical, but the interviewer was supportive and provided hints when needed.
