Process

On-campus interview (2 sessions) + 1 phone interview.

The on-campus interview had two 15-20 minute sessions with one engineer each.

The senior engineer asked me about linked lists and queues. The second engineer asked me about:

  1. Something solved by divide-and-conquer.
  2. Enumerating all numbers using the digit dial on a phone pad.

I did well in the second session and poorly in the first, which is why they want a phone interview.

Questions

Enumerate all phone numbers by the digit dial on the phone keypad.
