Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I had a phone screen with the company after a recruiter called.
The interview started very conversationally, describing a hash map. It was very collaborative.
It wasn't a hard question, and I don't really know why I didn't get an offer.
Questions

This involved class/OOP design with handling of collisions. More requirements were added as you completed different features of the hash map. Also, pay attention to hashing.
