Predicatable Mata tagged questions but one question slightly modified. Also good part is that they gave detailed feedback on Coding and behavioural.

Q1: https://leetcode.com/problems/minimum-remove-to-make-valid-parentheses/

Q2: https://leetcode.com/problems/merge-sorted-array/
Slightly modified version. Merge 2 sorted array containing duplicate numbers, remove duplicates as well. Use another variable to hold latest merged value, compare 3 way to ignore duplicate.

Array1: [ -300, -25, -5, 0, 0, 0, 10, 10, 10, 55]
Array2: [ -50, -25, 0, 0, 0, 100]
Answer: [ -300, -50, -25, -5, 0, 10, 55, 100]

Behavioural Questions:

  1. Tell me about a project which you worked on
  • I told about current ongoing project which is not yet complete. They asked me change story. I thought this is red flag but no comments/fedback on this. So neutral.
  1. Tell me about a time when you had conflict with any anyone.
  • I told a story having conflict with team member, to resolve I took indirect approach, getting design approval from others like Manager/other seniors in org. Feedback was to have a direct approach to resolve the issue. I ll keep that in mind in for full loop.

Received positive response next day morning. Received feedback like structured coding approach, clean code except one bug which could have solved with given time.
Received detailed feedback on behavioural as well, hoping the feeback helping me in Full loop. Good luck to all.
