Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - Berkeley, California
Process
I got an interview at the school career fair. It was a 45-minute on-site interview.
I was asked to solve two questions:
- BST vs. BT
- A question related to linked lists
I got the first one somewhat wrong and corrected it with the interviewer's hint. I could not finish writing the code for the second one due to the time limit, although I knew the solution and explained my approach.
I was surprised that I was not asked to introduce myself or talk about my projects.
Do your LeetCode problems, and you will be fine.
Questions
Given a list of integers, decide if it is a Binary Search Tree (BST).
