Congrats on moving forward. Any idea what the onsite rounds look like?

Recruiter mentioned coding plus a system design round, nothing more specific yet.

Same problem for me a couple weeks ago, the test case writing really is the annoying part, not the heap logic.

Lyft giving no test cases seems to be a pattern, heard the same on a KV store round too.

Good call on the greedy approach, seems like the natural fit for these worker assignment ones.
