Process

It's usually two phone screens, and then an on-site interview. The on-site interview is one day long and consists of six interviews with a lunch break. Nothing is really extraordinary about it. The interviewers are pretty relaxed but well-organized. They keep track of time for you but won't push you.

The only suggestion I would give is: don't drink too much coffee. By the end of the day, you will be over-caffeinated and may screw up your last interview(s).

Questions

The questions are all pretty straightforward. You need to know your data structures and algorithms, just the usual stuff:

  • BFS
  • DFS
