Grab Software Engineer interview experience

There was no restriction on language, and I ended up coding in Java. The first problem involved lighting up bulbs, and the second was about checking whether a value represented in binary was odd or even.

It was a proper timed test rather than something casual, and I remember how tightly the time window forced me to manage. I didn’t end up getting an offer, and the biggest takeaway for me was that even when problems are labeled “medium,” the combined time pressure across two tasks can feel brutal.
