Interview Process
The interview was a phone screen lasting about 30 minutes. The first question focused on the Robot Grid Distance Challenge algorithm. I explained my approach to solving the problem using the BFS algorithm and discussed how I would implement it using a queue to track the robot’s position. The interviewer wanted to see if I could code the solution, so I worked through the coding portion while explaining my thought process. We conducted a quick walk-through of test cases to ensure the solution was robust. After finishing the coding challenge, the interviewer asked a couple of behavioral questions regarding teamwork and problem-solving abilities. Overall, it was a concise but informative interview process, and I appreciated the interviewer’s guidance throughout the coding exercise.
