Behavioral Technical Coding
So basically, the interview was pretty technical and structured, a panel did it to see how smart I am and if I can solve problems. First, they asked about my schoolwork and research stuff, like what I'm interested in and what I want to do. Then, they really dug into the computer science basics like OS, computer architecture, algorithms, and math. The last part was all about coding challenges, specifically dynamic programming, to see if I could actually use what I know to solve hard problems on the spot.
