Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

Process

You receive an intro call, and then you are invited to a technical screen. They said the technical screen would involve LeetCode-style questions (medium difficulty). However, I don't believe it was typical LeetCode style; it leaned more towards design and runtime efficiency. I'm not saying it's impossible to solve the questions, but it would take more time if you are not accustomed to that style.

I solved question #1. Question #2 was a follow-up, but I had already run out of time.

I failed the technical screen mostly because I wasn't used to the style, not because the questions were too challenging.
