The interview started with technical questions; the cam and microphone weren't working, wasting 5 minutes. Then the Indian interviewer said he'd give 15-20 minutes for the two coding questions and 30 minutes for the spatial reasoning. The first coding question was about transposing a matrix in-place, which I finished quickly. The second question was based on the first, but given a number of workers and their indices, I had to have each worker transpose one or more rows/columns, ultimately transposing the entire matrix. I didn't finish, but I shared my idea. The spatial reasoning question was about designing a video website, requiring uploading and searching for videos. I failed two days later.
