Entrevista
After applying online, got an email from recruiter regarding few back ground questions and time slots for technical phone screen. This eliminated the need for a HR phone screen (which if required was given the choice to setup).
The phone screen was 45 minutes in total with 5 min introduction , 35 minutes to solve the problem and 5 for any questions. The question itself is an application of the DS concepts in real life rather than regular leetcode which I found really interesting.
I should have taken a step back in thinking about the solution rather than directly jumping into the code which did not solve for a subset of testcases thus leading to a rejection.
I wished the interviewer caught this issue while I'm coding rather rather than waiting for me to complete and execute on few test cases. Hence my experience is like a programming contest rather than a pair programming.

Assume that you have location service that tells you all the sub-regions that comprise the input region. For example, if you give the input as "Earth", it will give you a list of all the continents in the world, e.g. ["North America", "Europe", ...]. Or if you put in "United States", it’ll return the states ["California", "Oregon", ...].
Given two regions, write a method that returns the smallest region that includes both inputs. For example, "California" and "Mexico" should return "North America". Or "San Francisco" and "Virginia" should return "United States".
Pretty standard engineering interview. Recruiter call, technical interview, system design. They also had a code review interview that I had never seen before. I thought it was a little trickier than average, but not horrible. Sucks that if you don't move to the next round you can't reapply for a year.
