WarnerMedia(HBO) screening round

hi Guys, I have an interview loop starting for HBO. Their first round isnt a phone screen but an online assignment. HR lady said its a 1hr coding challenge. Anyone familiar please provide some inputs what to expect. LC hard/medium ? How to score more/ what aspects are judged apart from the efficiency of the code. Update: I had my telephonic and got rejected. I was asked a leet code hard using a k-ways tree for my 90min telephonic. I was able to give them the algorithm and code most part of it. I guess they need folks who write k-ways tree everyday at work. Good luck! #hbo #interview

So the hr came back saying their online assignment thingy is broken and they want to do 90mins coderpad for telephonic. Anyone had telephonic with HBO seattle yet? Insights / experiences much appreciated.

I got a job offer recently (for the HBO max team in AMS), went through all rounds really smoothly. Everyone involved was really nice and keen on helping me throughout the entire process. The tech final round was a ~2hrs long video conference with warm-up talk -> system design -> tech challenge/pair programming. They were really focused on helping me understand the problem ahead and to pass the pair programming feeling (which was really nice). Good luck.
