Another coding question is related to string manipulation.
Behavior question focus on previous project experiences. What kind of the challenges you faced during the previous job? What’s the reason to move? How do you tackle the conflict with your team?

Question 1
Algorithm questions: serialize deserialize tree similar.
Another coding question is related to string manipulation.
Walking into the technical round, I had an unexpected moment of déjà vu when I was asked to find the lowest common ancestor in a binary tree. It was just like the question I had practiced on prachub.com a few days earlier. The interview also included designing an LRU cache and reversing a linked list, which I felt comfortable with too. Overall, the process was smooth, starting with a recruiter screen and a couple of phone interviews. I received an offer, but ultimately decided to decline.
