Interview Process

The interview process included discussions around feedback from peers and managers, conflict management in project settings, and handling ambiguous requirements. There were two coding challenges presented during the interview.

Technical Questions

  • Feedback Management: Tell me about a time when you received feedback from a peer or manager.
  • Conflict Management: How do you deal with project conflicts when time is critical?
  • Ambiguous Requirements: How do you handle different opinions and ambiguous requirements?
  • Coding Challenge 1: Implement a solution where a mouse is searching for cheese in an unknown room using two functions: move() and hasCheese(). The challenge required navigating without barriers and involved a depth-first search (DFS) approach.
  • Coding Challenge 2: Additional coding question related to algorithms.

Tips & Insights

Expectations can lead to disappointment; be prepared for varying outcomes in the interview process.
