December 1, 2018

Process

I applied online and received an email to schedule a phone interview. They use phones, not Skype or Hangouts.

The interviewer was a top developer, very communicative and efficient in managing the time.

Questions

Two LeetCode medium questions, very well-known and standard.

During implementation, many questions arose about the data structures I used and alternative ones that could have been employed. Specifically, the hash table versus balanced BST trade-off.

Some other questions concerned the language, as I used C++, which is their primary language of development.
