Interview Process
The interviewer started with a brief introduction about the company and the role. The first technical question was about the Robot Grid Distance Challenge, where I had to find the shortest path from a starting point to a destination on a grid with obstacles. After discussing the problem-solving approach, I implemented a BFS solution and explained my thought process. We then discussed edge cases, particularly regarding how to handle multiple paths and blocked paths. The interviewer added a follow-up question about optimizing the solution and potential improvements. Finally, we wrapped up the interview with my questions about team dynamics and project timelines.
