Sollicitatiegesprek
Was contacted by the HR to schedule a phone interview with the hiring manager. It was a 30-minute phone interview where we spoke about projects on my resume and he asked me questions on basic OOPS concepts, multithreading, garbage collection. The next round was a coding assessment which was a 2 and a half hour online coding test. The interviewer called me in the first 15 minutes to send a pdf file of the problem statement. I completed the code and had to email the files to the interviewer at the end of 2 hours for evaluation. He got back to me in a couple of days and invited me to San Francisco for an on-site interview. However, that did not work out as the HR suddenly realized that she needs someone to start in November and I was still in school. This was really disappointing as my graduation date and start date are clearly mentioned in my resume. It was clearly a waste of my time. They were really apologetic about this and the HR is still looking for New Grad positions for me.

Vraag 1
Cannot disclose the problem statement due to NDA. However, be prepared with algorithms and data structures.
The technical interview was much tougher than I anticipated. I faced a DSA question related to word searches that required optimizing a brute-force approach with a Trie. It was intense, but the practice I’d done on PracHub the week before really helped solidify my understanding of the problem-solving techniques. The behavioral round felt lighter, focusing on teamwork and project experience. After a couple of days, I received an offer, which I happily accepted. Overall, it was a challenging yet rewarding experience.

Word Search II - given an m x n board of characters and a list of words, return all words that can be formed from sequentially adjacent cells; had to optimize the brute-force backtracking with a Trie to pass the time limit
The interview process started with an online coding assessment that included DSA and problem-solving questions. After clearing the test, I had two technical interview rounds focused on data structures, OOPs concepts, DBMS, and project discussion. The final round was with the hiring manager where they asked about teamwork, problem solving, and career goals. The interviewers were professional and the process was smooth overall.
Went through 3 rounds. First round was a technical interview - it was a take home assessment. I didn't pass the test cases but still went through to the next round. The onsite had 1 behavioral, 1 system design, and 1 technical Leetcode style interview. It was in person on a whiteboard.
