Software Developer Interview Experience

Process

This is a new grad position. HR emailed me for some information about my availability. They then set up a technical interview for me. All the problems were very routine and could be found in interview books.

One problem involved taking a linked list representing a multi-digit number and adding one to it. Another problem asked how to maintain a large file that needs to be updated constantly.

Questions

I didn't do well on the second problem. The time limit is very strict.
