Sorry to hear about the rejection, sounds like you handled the technical side fine though, onsite bars can just be weird sometimes.

Did they let you clarify the constraints on the gas stations problem before jumping in, or did you have to guess the setup yourself?

Yeah I got maybe a minute to ask about constraints before diving in, they seemed fine with a few clarifying questions upfront.

How much time did you actually get per coding problem in the screen? Sounds tight fitting two into one call.

It was tight ngl, felt like maybe 25 minutes each after the intro chat, had to move fast.

Had a phone screen a while back with a similar BFS grid problem, felt like graph traversal comes up a lot here from what I've seen.

Same, mine had a grid traversal question too, seems like a recurring theme for the phone screens.
