Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
The whole interview was, in my case, separated into 3 parts.
The first part was a phone screening where you answer 3 theoretical questions.
The second part was a 90-minute coding challenge (similar to LeetCode).
The third part was more about negotiating salary, and you get to hear their expectations of you.
Questions
Dijkstra's and A* pathfinding, but the question was posed in a way that made it unclear if these were the correct solutions to their problem.
