Software Engineer Interview Experience - Los Angeles, California
Process
I recently had a phone interview. It was pretty good.
They asked basic data structure complexities first, followed by two coding questions.
Fortunately, they weren't as bad as I thought they would be.
My experience with that interview suggests you need to be clear with the basics – writing code to perform basic data structure manipulation – and to do so with speed.
That's all.
