Interview Process
The interview process consisted of a technical phone screen where I was asked to solve the Robot Grid Distance Challenge. The interviewer provided a problem statement that required implementing an algorithm to determine the shortest distance a robot would have to travel in a grid. I was given some examples to work through, and I discussed my thought process and approach with the interviewer. I utilized depth-first search to approach the problem, ensuring I covered all potential paths the robot could take. The interviewer prompted me with additional test cases, and we iterated through the code together. Overall, the experience was positive, and I felt engaged throughout the session. I appreciated their feedback and the way they facilitated the discussion. After the interview, I was informed that I would hear back about the next steps in a week.
