Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
I was referred by a friend.
I then had a telephone interview about the "Coin Change" problem on LeetCode, which I solved using dynamic programming (DP).
Next, I had an onsite interview in MTV. It was not as difficult as I thought.
The onsite interview consisted of four rounds plus a lunch.
All rounds were about algorithms, with one round focusing on SQL.
However, four interviews in a row was very intense.
Questions
DP problem.
"Coin in Line" on LeetCode.
