Interview Process
The interview began with a behavioral question to understand my background and experience. The core technical question revolved around a problem where a robot needs to navigate a grid and calculate the minimum distance to reach a target position while avoiding obstacles. The interviewer was particularly interested in my problem-solving approach and thought process. I used a breadth-first search (BFS) approach to traverse the grid and discussed edge cases like boundaries and obstacles. After coding, we reviewed the solution, and I explained the time complexity analysis. The interview lasted about 32 minutes, and I felt it was a good learning experience, as the interviewer was patient and open to discussing various approaches.
