Question 1
Leetcode medium. but one of the interviewers couldn't explain the question.
3-part Online Assessment. Success in each part results in access to the next part. Coding and debugging questions were much more difficult than average (Leetcode medium). Coding part has two questions. Very limited time for each part of the assessment which makes it harder to complete properly.
