Pretty standard algorithm heavy interview. Algorithms, data structures, etc. Copy-paste from every FAANG type of place. The questions were using recursion, arrays, dynamic programming. Not very useful for real day-to-day, more of an unnecessarily academic type of question. Not a process I am fan of, but very typical nonetheless.
