Software Engineer New Grad Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
The process was straightforward.
It consisted of two back-to-back 45-minute interviews with a 15-minute break in between.
The interviews were nice and understanding. I didn't quite grasp all the questions, but the interviewers were helpful in guiding me.
The first technical question was fair. However, the second technical question was poorly framed. It was the "IP to CIDR" question, commonly found on LeetCode.
Both the interviewer and I became frustrated as it was not a question we were accustomed to.
Questions
- Flights path and minimum cost
- IP to CIDR
