Tips from the candidate

Focus on Graphs, Trees. Know about the yield operator in Python if your preferred language is Python. Don't jump to solution, clarify the requirements, think about base cases and edge cases, discuss with the interviewer before jumping to writing the code

Company culture

Great culture, Coding technical interview bar is high. Overall, experience is smooth even though I couldn't communicate properly.
