Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

There were two rounds of phone interviews and two rounds of "blue jean" interviews. The phone interview allowed you to choose the language you were most comfortable with. The "blue jean" interview had no place for coding; you had to describe your algorithm.

Questions

Basically, the GS interview questions cover a very narrow list. They always ask about:

  • Finding the median of two sorted arrays
  • Hash map implementation
  • Finding the 2nd smallest element in an array

I have been asked these questions.
