Technical Round
Duration: ~1 hour 10 minutes
Method: Video Interview via Amazon Chime
Focus: Problem-solving, logical reasoning, and DSA application
Key Questions:
A question that translated to detecting a loop in a linked list (approach + implementation)
A Tree + Dynamic Programming question requiring optimization under constraints
Obstacles:
The questions were not direct and needed careful interpretation from a descriptive paragraph.
Initially struggled with the first problem due to nervousness but managed to solve it after a hint in story format.
Faced difficulty in the second problem as I had not practiced much on trees and DP; required multiple hints.
Ended up with syntax errors and incomplete implementation due to time running out, but conveyed my final approach clearly.
