Question 1
given a binary tree, validate that it is well formed
It was really nice. The interviewer was nice and paid attention to both behavioral and technical. The technical question was not too difficult. I would recommend interning here. The people are very nice and great work like balance.
First I was asked to complete a coding challenge. Then an interviewer read questions of a list that are very generic. The interviewer had no interest in me or even made eye contact. It was a horrible experience. Once the list was done, they ended the interview . No question was met with an answer. They just moved on immediately.
