Interview Process
The first round involved a technical phone screen focusing on a problem called ‘Robot Grid Distance Challenge’. The interview began with a brief introduction about my background and experiences. The interviewer then presented the problem statement and asked clarifying questions.
I worked through my thought process out loud, discussing potential edge cases. The interviewer was engaged and provided hints when I got stuck. Once I outlined my solution, I was asked to provide the code implementation in a shared coding platform. After completing the solution, we discussed the time and space complexity and looked into possible optimizations. Overall, it was a positive experience, lasting about 24 minutes.
