Software Engineer Interview Experience - Kirkland, Washington
Process
In GoDaddy's Kirkland office.
Five rounds onsite.
The first three rounds went smoothly, but I was asked to leave right after the fourth round. This interviewer was an idiot. He asked a relatively complex question, trying to fool me, but I had encountered a similar question before. My answer was complex but highly optimized, and he refused to understand.
I could feel projects in the Kirkland office were in the "baby swaddling" stage. The interviewers seemed young and very new to GoDaddy. They lacked experience and an idea of where their work was headed. It felt unpromising.
Questions
2D matrix BFS.
Can't believe the interviewer doesn't know how to use a queue to do BFS.
