Interview Process
The interview consisted of both behavioral and technical questions. For the technical part, the interviewer asked me to solve the “Robot Grid Distance Challenge”. It was an interesting problem that tested my understanding of grid traversal and pathfinding algorithms. My approach was to use a BFS algorithm to find the shortest path for the robot to reach its destination. After explaining my approach, I wrote the code, and the interviewer was satisfied with the explanations. We also touched upon some of the design patterns I have used in previous projects during the behavioral part. Overall, it was a rigorous session that tested both my technical and communication skills.
