Process

They fly you to New York for an all-day interview. You will be interviewed by two or three teams, depending on your resume. They have two offices across the bay from each other, and you have to ride the provided yacht if you have an interview on the other building. It was a unique experience.

The interview questions are easy if you know your data structures and sorting algorithms well. There were no hard algorithm questions like graph search for the specific panel I was interviewed on. They also asked about the difference between an abstract class versus an interface, and inheritance, among other topics.

Questions

Basic data structures, algorithms, and brain teasers are discussed.

They also ask you about your projects.
