Interview Process
The phone screen consisted of a single coding problem focused on algorithm efficiency. The problem was a variation of the Robot Grid Distance Challenge, where I needed to calculate the minimum distance a robot would take to navigate a grid. The interviewer was quite friendly and provided hints when I seemed stuck. I was able to solve the problem but struggled slightly with edge cases. They asked me subsequent questions on complexity analysis and input variations. After discussing the problem, we moved on to behavioral questions. Overall, the experience was positive despite slight hiccups in my solution approach.
