Process

I had two back-to-back "hangout" interviews, followed by a third "hangout" interview a week later. They all had the same format:

  • The first 5 minutes were for the interviewers to introduce themselves and explain how the interview would proceed.
  • Then, they asked me to solve a problem.
  • Finally, they asked that I code my solution.

The remaining 3 to 5 minutes were for me to ask questions.

Questions

The questions were problems that required typical algorithms and data structures, such as queues, stacks, graphs, and hash tables, as well as Breadth-First Search (BFS).

I was also asked to analyze time and space complexities.
