Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

Quick process from reference to phone screen. (Recruiter phone conversation first.)

Then, the phone screen with an engineer (I think pretty recent, <1 year experience). I answered his questions pretty well, including run times, yet got rejected.

Overall experience was okay, but the lack of transparency with respect to performance on interview questions (especially when I thought I did well) bothered me.

Questions

The question had to do with a file system.
