Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Four rounds mix of behavioral and technical. Medium LC, OOP, and Systems. Focus on Leadership Principles. Practice coding out loud and fast. Ran out of time for one of them.
This is a description for the Online Assessment. I didn't do very well in the first part, which is debugging. I think I only got four out of the seven questions due to limited time, but I still passed. In part 2 there are two coding questions. I got one but didn't finish debugging so it didn't pass all the test cases. After that I got the email saying not to move forward.
