Interview
Resume and information collect
2 Technical interviews (easy/medium leetcode question), I answer one question in both interviews and finish one follow up in one interview.
Wait for team match, I match at the second round, which I think is the last round.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Main: Tree, Time complexity
Follow up: Binary Search
2 round technical, second round was standard LC and went well (max-heap question to simulate a voting system). First round was low-level heavy (questions about dynamic casting, memory constraints and management, designing a hash function). I was told the interview would be DSA based and reached out to the recruiting team to inform them that my first round was not really fair, but they did not agree to a re-interview.
