Interview Process

The interview began with a simple self-introduction, followed by a question about the most challenging project the candidate had worked on. Then, the coding portion started with two standard questions.

Technical Questions

  1. Remove Consecutive Characters (stack, string)
    Given a string, remove consecutive characters that appear more than three times. For example, for the input “aabbbaac”, the output should be “c”.

  2. Bar Problem (dry run)
    This question involved a problem from a coding platform, and the candidate was instructed to dry run the solution without executing code.

Tips & Insights

  • Be prepared to discuss challenging projects during the introduction.
  • Practice coding questions that involve data structures like stacks.
