Process

I had an on-campus interview. It went pretty well and was mostly analytical and algorithm questions.

Then, I had a phone interview. It was very technical and detailed, but the interviewer was helpful.

At the end, HR said I had received positive feedback on my interviews and they would let me know when they had openings, which they didn't.

Questions

Nothing surprising, but the guy did ask about everything related to networking fundamentals and C++.

Was this helpful?
