Interview Process

The interview process included a coding challenge focused on optimizing pathfinding algorithms. The interviewer was friendly and provided hints when needed. I was challenged to implement Dijkstra’s algorithm and explain my thought process as I coded. After the coding part, we had a discussion around system design, particularly how to handle large-scale data flow in an application. Overall, I felt it was a good experience, and the interviewer was very supportive throughout the process.
