Interview
The interviewer was very friendly. There were two questions in total, and the time was a bit tight. The interviewer informed me in advance that each question had a 20-minute limit, and if I couldn't finish the first question within the allotted time, I had to stop and move on to the second one. The questions weren't too difficult, and I was able to complete them relatively smoothly. The environment didn't allow code execution, so I could only dry run the solutions and explain the algorithm and key steps to the interviewer. Overall, it was a good experience.
