  Phone Screen with Spiral Matrix and a Blocker Follow-upTemu · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Sep 2026

  I just finished my Temu phone screen. First round (coding): The problem was a variant of a 2D matrix problem. Part one: given an m x n matrix, output all the values in the matrix in spiral order (clockwise, from the outside in). It's a classic, similar to LC 54 Spiral Matrix.
