Interview Process

The interview process involved an initial phone screen where I was asked about my experience and relevant technical skills. Following that, I was given the Robot Grid Distance Challenge, which focused on finding the minimum distance to travel in a grid. The interviewer guided me through the problem while testing my understanding of algorithmic concepts. I encountered various edge cases and had to articulate my thought process and approach to the problem. Overall, it was a good mix of behavioral and technical questions. I felt positive about my performance but I’m currently waiting for feedback.
