Interview Process
The interview lasted approximately 25 minutes and began with a brief introduction of my background and experience. I was then presented with the Robot Grid Distance Challenge, where I needed to calculate the shortest path a robot would take in a grid while avoiding obstacles. I walked through my thought process and discussed my approach, emphasizing edge cases and optimization. After coding the solution, I explained it line by line and addressed potential improvements. The interviewer asked follow-up questions about time complexity and alternative methods, which I answered thoroughly. The interviewer was engaging and encouraged my questions.
