Entretien
Two hour-long technical rounds followed by a managerial round and a final fit round. I didn't pass the second technical round. It was a DP problem wherein the recursive formulation used a probability of products. Overall it was a positive experience.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Modification of the HasCycle graph problem and another DP problem requiring probabilistic formulation as part of its recursive formulation.
The process was straightforward. I first submitted my resume online. Then I was contacted by a recruiter for initial screening. After that, I was given an online coding/technical assessment. Finally, there was a behavioral interview with the hiring manager.
