Interview Process
The interview started with a short introduction and an overview of the process. First, I was asked a coding question related to algorithms. After solving the problem, I discussed my thought process with the interviewer. They seemed pleased with my approach and then shifted to behavioral questions, focusing on teamwork and conflict resolution.
The coding challenge was relatively straightforward, where I had to implement a function that checks if a string is a palindrome. I explained my algorithm as I worked through the solution, and after confirming its correctness, I detailed how I would optimize it further. Overall, it felt like a great combination of technical and soft skills assessment.
