Woven planet phone screen question types
L4/L3 (?) 1 hour live coding interview coming up with Toyota Woven Planet (Tokyo office) Anyone know what types of questions to expect in it, or what I can safely ignore? Interview is next week, so I don't have much time left to prepare. Can I ignore prepping stuff like network flow and tries and self balancing trees and Kruskal's/Prim's for now? I know AVL and the basics of B trees, but I haven't leetcoded anything like that. I want to get to all that stuff eventually, but if I study that other stuff now, since I'd need to start with the theory for stuff like MST or network flow, it would come at the cost of practicing implementing more common things like DP/graphs/backtracking/greedy algorithms on leetcode, which I'm still way behind on. Has anyone ever been asked DP or backtracking or hard graph problems by them, or something like union find? Just trying to get a sense of what to prioritize :( TC:š„ YOE:4 (I'm already based in Japan btw) #WovenPlanet
In many ways especially direction of the company^ WLB seems good overall. Better than paypay imo. Could not say, havenāt work there but friends came from AZM/AWS with 40% TC improvement so why not. Too lazy to leave when you can fuck around for another 5 years or 10 depends in Toyota money.
People choosing to fuck around for overly inflated salaries starving the ones who actually work hard are part of the problem
Do you have any advice for the take home assignment? Do the bare minimum and just make sure you optimize for complexity and write tests and comments and follow formatting standards, but just assume they'll have the right language version installed on their OS, and don't add extra stuff to handle invalid input or inputs that scale beyond what's written in the requirements or anything, etc? Or, treat it like a consulting project and go above and beyond and email back with clarifying questions and make really nice documentation and add useless stuff to the codebase to handle potential things they might be looking for but that are just gonna add technical debt and are only there b/c of lack of clarity in how you'll be judged?
In what way? I'd mainly be concerned about coerced overtime. How's WLB? You think it's worse than paypay? How about Amazon japan? Also why haven't you left lol
