Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Figure out if 2 given string are anagrams. Also hinted at checking if the word used numbers or capital letters.
given a subway station, how would you calculate average times between point x and y for a k number of people (times from the same destination and end can be different times because of train delays or whatever) Implement in (N) time.
One phone screen, two technical coding interviews, 1 HR interview, 1 Hiring Manager Final Round. Technical coding questions were mostly LC easies and mediums (can find all on Reddit or LC premium list). They really emphasize your thought process and have you do pseudocode first. They also do a lot of guiding throughout the interview so don't stress, just communicate your thought process. All of the engineers were super easy to talk to

I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Sep 2023
Interview
2 technical rounds and 2 behavioral. The questions for the 2 technical rounds were 1 graph and 1 dp/recursion on paper. I did not pass the 2nd round. The questions were totally doable and there was enought time.
