Process
Great experience - cool people, stimulating interviews, very efficient HR.
Two coding questions on phone interview:
- One on adding integers of arbitrary size.
- Another that I can't recall.
On-site interview entailed 5 back-to-back interviews and lunch.
- Talk with a manager and question regarding TCP Path MTU discovery - black hole connection.
- Others were whiteboard coding and design questions. Study up on algorithms and data structs!
Will be trying again in a year.
