Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a sorted list of numbers find the index of the last negative and first positive number.
3x leetcode medium with some behavioral mixed in. Hiring manager round asked a bunch of behavioral stuff and gave 15min at the end to do leetcode mediu. All leetcode asked were on the harder side of medium.
The interview process consisted of an initial HR screening followed by a technical interview with the engineering team. The technical round focused on backend fundamentals, including data structures, system design basics, and problem-solving questions. There was also discussion about past projects and experience. The interviewer was very nice, professional, and made the conversation comfortable and engaging. Overall, the process was smooth and well-structured.
