Interview questions [1]
Question 1
string problem based on greedy approach,
dp problem
There are four DSA rounds. The first round was of 45 minutes. Asked a medium difficulty DSA question in first round. The interviewer focused on implementation rather than logic which was just absurd.
Received a email from the recruiter. Did online coding interview. Did 4 interviews (3coding and 1 behavioral) Did interviews with hiring managers. Lay off happened. Overall the recruiter was friendly and the interviewers were friendly as well.
