Got an interview through a university career fair in Oct 2025. The interview gave me the impression that the company highly prioritizes people with very strong technical skills, who can produce code on the spot in a quick turnaround. It was purely technical, asked me to write code that required a strong understanding of algorithms within 45 minutes, and was expected to pass all the test cases. Normally, a task like this would require a nontrivial amount of planning and design considerations. The recruiter said that I wasn't expected to talk out loud or explain my process because it wasn't going to be relevant to my assessment.

They sent me an email describing the process of online coding assessment, and a link to the problem. The link contains a coding problem that I need to finish in ~1 - 2 hours.
