Fairly common process. I didn't prepare sufficiently and got rejected. HR Screen then technical interview where I got rejected. Interviewer was helpful through the process. Padding with words to fill limit now.

Question 1
One leetcode medium, tree traversal for spelling words
Technical Screen. Scheduled a week after applying. Overall very fast and very nice people. Got a very chill interviewer and was expected to solve 2 leetcode mediums in 40 minutes
Interviewer failed to clarify on the input, forces me to apply her/his logic throughout, even though the time complexity is the same, and space complexity is equivalent in Big O notation. Late for 1/4 of the interview.
