Process
Typical LC style. I believe I did very well on all four (solved them, discussed time and space complexity), but I did not get the offer.
During my system design interview, which was a very typical and easy question, the interviewer (who, by the way, was my potential engineering manager) cut me off and asked, "How would you test and track your system?"
After I answered her question, she mumbled something like, "That was not what I meant... ANYWAY, thanks for the answer."
The interviewers, aside from one of them, seemed kind of unprofessional.
Questions
