Interview
Got invited to do the Code Signal test, scored between 815 and 820 (I don't want to be too specific) with 3 minutes left, but got rejected based on "insufficient experience". I think they are looking at the resume after the coding assessment outcome.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
4 LC-style problems: 3 easy (maybe 1 of them could be considered medium) and 1 including matrix operations like rotation, transpose, etc.
Recruiter reached out + brief recruiter call. First round was 2 technical questions; one was leetcode and one was an implementation question where you had to write your own test cases. Final round was a behavioral with hiring manager where they asked about my previous experiences.
