Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The first interview felt almost robotic. The conversation lacked fluidity, and any response from the interviewer seemed to be read from a list of questions.

The second interview was alright. I didn't understand the question, so I knew immediately it was not going in my favor, haha. This conversation also lacked fluidity, and any question I had in regard to the problem was poorly answered by the interviewer. I don't think they wanted to be there, which is okay but felt odd on my part.

The third interview's original interviewer did not show up, and I had to reschedule. The replacement interviewer was actually great and super kind! They answered all of my questions about the problem well, and made the interview feel very comfortable.

Questions

  1. LRU cache

  2. I don't remember, but it was more LeetCode style.
