Behavioral Technical Coding
Had a good time interviewing, the people were nice. They asked pretty tough behavior and technical questions, then some coding stuff. I think I did okay on most of it, but messed up the last coding task. Given the job market now, I'm guessing that's why they didn't offer me the job.

Presentation Coding Behavioral
So the interview was about an hour long, and it was a mix of behavior and technical stuff, they threw in one coding question. We started with me talking about the company for like 10 minutes. Then there was about 30-40 minutes of coding. It was Leetcode easy level. After that, we spent 10 minutes on behavioral questions.

Technical Coding Behavioral
It was a pretty straightforward process. Started with one Technical interview, then went into 2 rounds with a manager and 1 more Technical interview. The coding part involved a LeetCode medium problem using common data structures. I was a bit surprised that the interviewer focused heavily on code syntax and ensuring the program ran without any compilation errors, especially given the time constraints of a coding interview.
Confirmed questions5 questions
- Could you discuss your experience with data structures?
- Tell me about your background and experience.
- Can you describe your technical experience?
