Process

Middle-level difficulty.

Five people were on the panel for the interview. I applied for an engineer position.

Two people on the panel were not professional or experts in the area. I provided answers, but they may not have understood exactly. They kept questioning me on issues that were not relevant.

I was kind of disappointed with the questions.

Questions

Common design and whiteboard coding questions.
