Level: Intern
Round: Phone Screen · Type: Coding · Difficulty: 7/10 · Duration: 60 min · Interviewer: Friendly
Topics: Sliding Window, Pattern Matching, Python
Location: San Francisco Bay Area
Interview date: 2025-12-28
Got offer: False
I had a phone screen interview. The question was related to portfolio/pattern checking and required a Python implementation.
The interview focused on coding ability and problem-solving skills rather than traditional machine learning questions. The question was lengthy and had multiple parts, requiring me to understand the business logic while coding. It wasn't a typical LeetCode-style problem.
The problem was related to portfolio/pattern checking with some sliding window/pattern matching aspects. Due to nervousness, I struggled to read the problem carefully and couldn't perform well. I only completed two out of the four parts. The interviewer was helpful and tried to guide me.
