Interview Process
The interview process consisted of a technical phone screen that lasted approximately 32 minutes. During the call, I was presented with a coding challenge centered around the Robot Grid Distance problem, which involved navigating a robot on a grid and calculating the distance to a target position. The interviewer was friendly and encouraged me to think through my approach before coding. I discussed my strategy and outlined my algorithm before diving into the implementation. Once I coded the solution, we went through the edge cases and the interviewer provided feedback on improving the efficiency of the algorithm. Overall, the experience was positive and I felt I handled the questions well.
