Interview Process
The interview process started with a brief introduction from the interviewer. We then moved into the technical questions. The first question involved solving a robot grid distance problem. I clarified the problem statement and defined the grid and robot’s movement rules. I discussed several algorithms that could be applicable and settled on a detailed dynamic programming approach, explaining how I would implement it in a time-efficient manner. The interviewer engaged with follow-up questions to test my understanding of edge cases.
After solving the first problem, we moved on to another coding question focused on optimizing the previous approach. The overall experience was challenging but rewarding, and I felt I communicated well with the interviewer throughout the process.
