Graduate Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
I received half technical questions (actually less than half) and half behavioral questions.
The technical questions were all easy LeetCode problems, such as finding a cycle in a linked list and some string manipulation questions.
The behavioral questions were not particularly difficult, but my answers didn't seem to meet their expectations.
Questions
In the first round of the superday, there was one technical question: find a cycle in a linked list. The follow-up was, "What if there are millions of nodes in the cycle?"
The second round involved questions such as finding the fewest steps to locate the smallest number in a list of integers and calculating character counts for a string.
