Software Engineer Interview Experience - Houston, Texas
Process
I applied through a campus recruiting event.
I applied for an internship but was later transferred to a full-time position.
It took about 4 weeks to process.
The first phone interview lasted for 45 minutes. The interviewer asked algorithmic questions.
Questions
Range sum in a matrix.
This should handle the uneven case of the matrix, though I don't think it is a matrix anymore.
Follow up with some optimizations, such as what if the update operations are much more than query operations.
