Interview
Was referred by a friend in August. Recruiter reached out to me saying that she would be in touch within a few weeks. I talked with her at Career Fair and set up an on-campus interview. Had my on-campus interview, did not move past that stage.

1. Most efficient data structure to store a sparse vector
2. Trapping Rain Water (Leetcode hard question)
It was a 45-min phone technical interview. It started with the regular behavioral questions like "tell me about yourself" and "why FB." The coding question was to determine whether a BST is valid.

Interview
HR was bad. But Interviewer was kind. HR kept messing up in emails, such as giving me wrong scheduling links, coderpad links, etc. However, if a friend refers you for the job, it really does take like 2 days for them to tell you to schedule an interview.
