Someone contacted me through a professional network, so I treated the interview as practice and a chance to see the market. The two questions were LeetCode 159 and 93.
I stumbled a little on the problems, but I did write both solutions. Their Python coding IDE was very bad. It timed out several times, which made me think I had written an infinite loop, but the environment was actually just running slowly.
The result showed a rejection the next day. I did not understand it because I had written both answers by hand, explained my reasoning, produced code that compiled, and passed every test case they provided. Still, I had entered with a practice mindset, so I could not blame anyone too much. I am sharing this as a reference point for others.
