June 1, 2015
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

HR contacted me two weeks after applying online.

The interview process involved:

  • A one-hour technical Webex interview.
  • Four to five hours of on-site interviews, each lasting one hour.

During the on-site interviews, two team members per session asked dynamic programming, SQL, and design questions. The final interview was with a manager.

For the technical and design questions, you needed to write down your answers on paper or use a whiteboard.

Examples of questions included:

  • Given two linked lists, return the longest common postfix.
  • Given a Queue, write a function that reads a value from the queue every five seconds.

And many others...
