Process
I applied online. One month later, I received an email asking for a phone interview.
The interview was straightforward, with some questions about BSTs and general data structures (lists, queues, etc.).
One week later, I received an invitation for an onsite interview.
During the onsite interview, I felt the questions were not that difficult. I was asked to program in C. I was nervous and later realized I had made some silly little mistakes.
Questions
