Process
My interview was a phone interview that required me to SSH into their servers for a technical coding interview.
The coding portion took around 20 minutes. The remaining time of the one-hour interview involved questions on data structures and discussing my experience.
The coding portion focused on implementing functions of a binary search tree. The other questions, asked verbally, covered topics such as linked lists, comparing singly vs. doubly-linked lists, and their time costs.
Overall, there was a strong emphasis on data structures.
Questions
I was asked to implement some functions of a binary search tree, such as finding the next node with inorder traversal.
This was then tested with pre-written tests.
All of this was done in C.

- 3.0Great projects, brilliant people, but less incentivesSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeBengaluru, Karnataka, IndiaFebruary 2, 2016Pros: Thin management layer, flat hierarchy is the best thing, apart from very knowledgeable co-workers. The new office is great. It creates the mood to work efficiently. Emphasis is on quality rather than deadlines. The quality of projects and work in the Bangalore office is of the same level as that of HQ in Santa Clara, which is appreciable.Cons: There are still a lot more things to improve on regarding facilities and perks. Management is being thrifty. Salary increments are low, along with the fact that the stock options don't have pre-IPO charm. Perks that are common in the industry, like company-sponsored team lunches, food coupons, and reimbursements for internet bills, etc., are not being taken care of.
