Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

Met with 3 pairs of software engineers from different teams. They weren't game teams, but more central teams. Most of the interviews were conducted by engineers, and then you would have a team leader or manager next. I learned some general list manipulation/sorting, some general design, web services, and C# and C++.

Questions

Some general problem-solving questions for algorithms. For example, how many eggs will I use to find out the height an egg breaks if I throw them from a building with 100 floors? What is the minimum number of eggs I need?
