I did use c# Question:Validate a lineup. Basic code puzzle. Straight implementation was nested for, I got linear runtime execution by usage of dictionaries. Then constant time inside for, assignments and key set during the single interaction. Access in constant time in dictionary to check distinct on key values. Basic usage of linq to make sum, groupBy and distinct. Generic very high level questions on UT, like "do you think make sense to use them and when! " Really you cannot interview a senior and poorly ask like that. There was a question on the complexity of a linq command execution, not sure the point of that, it depends if operation runs in memory or server side.

One of the key areas of focus during my interview was culture fit and leadership mindset. A particularly insightful question was: "Can you share an example of how you navigated a challenging situation involving people and processes in your previous roles?" This question aimed to understand my approach to team dynamics, decision-making, and handling conflicts. The discussion revolved around how I build trust within teams, drive process improvements, and align engineering execution with business goals while ensuring a positive and collaborative work environment. The interviewers were keen on evaluating not just technical expertise, but also how I think as a leader and how well I fit into Planview’s culture.
