Harder Onsite Problems

Alex Chen45 min readUpdated 86 real interview reports

Most Workday coding problems are easy or medium. Some onsites and senior final rounds go further, and so does the occasional phone screen. The five problems here are those harder asks, across heaps, sliding windows and graph searches.

There's less slack in these rounds. Give the brute force one sentence and its cost, then write the faster answer.

Java is the default, so have the PriorityQueue comparator syntax ready before the day, along with an ArrayDeque for breadth-first search. Try the empty cases before a big one, like an empty input or a blocked exit.
