Question 1
Given n lines on the x-axis, find the maximum number of intersections lines
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Salto (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Dec 2023
Interview
I recently went through a series of five interviews with Salto, and I've got to say, the experience was really positive. Each interview felt fair and well-organized, making the whole process quite smooth.
What stood out to me was how the interviewers took the time to really understand who I am, beyond just my technical skills. The first three rounds focused on technical questions, which were challenging but fair, and it felt like they were really interested in how I think and solve problems.
The interview with the CEO was a standout moment. It was more of a conversation than a formal interview, which was refreshing. It gave me a good sense of the company's direction and leadership style. Similarly, the final round with the VP of HR was straightforward and pleasant, wrapping up the whole process nicely.
Even though I didn't get the job in the end, I left with a positive impression of how Salto treats its candidates. The whole experience was fair and genuinely enjoyable. I'd definitely recommend their interview process to others.
