Entretien
Contacted by a Recruiter. I was asked to take the online assessment test. Coding questions in online interview were very simple and straightforward. Called for an onsite interview at seattle. There were 4 rounds.
1. Couldn't categorize as what category the questions belongs to. It was more like a big word problem. When asked about some details on the question, the interviewer made it even more puzzling adding extra criteria. The interviewer dropped the question half way and started asking one word questions after that. May be he declared my result at that instance itself.
2. Matrix Dynamic programming. Not the one I heard before. But was able to give the solution well ahead of time.
3. Question on Linked List, Basic Array. Again completed well ahead of time. So, the interviewer started asking some common questions.
4. Question on BST. Was able to answer the question. Completed the round with a set of behavioral questions. The interviewer looked totally uninterested with my approaches or what I was saying.

Surprisingly easy — I expected tougher questions, but the coding round felt more like a warm-up. The main challenge was a DSA problem about counting islands in a 2D grid, which led to a discussion on DFS versus BFS and handling large grids. Funny enough, I had revisited that exact type of question while prepping on PracHub, which made me feel more confident. The interview wrapped up with a behavioral round, and I accepted an offer, but ultimately decided to decline it for another opportunity. Overall, it was a smooth experience.

Question 1
Number of Islands — given a 2D grid of '1's (land) and '0's (water), count the number of connected islands. Walk through DFS vs BFS, and discuss how to avoid revisiting cells (in-place mutation vs visited set) and what changes if the grid is huge and must stream from disk.
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.

Online Assessment is the first step in the process. I didn’t have an HR phone screening and went straight to the OA after applying. It was sent to me about a week after I submitted my application.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
The first question is LeetCode style algorithms question, and the second question gives a full stack repo (choice of Java, NodeJS, or Django) and asks to solve a backend issue which is causing a bug in the frontend. Unit tests must pass to pass the second question. You can run both backend/frontend indivdually or together
