Process
One phone screen followed by five onsite interviews.
The recruiter was very helpful and always in touch. The process was very clear from start to end.
They need people who can think and write code very quickly. Even though I answered all my questions, I was too slow to solve as many questions as they wanted.
Questions
2Sum, 3Sum, and search problems based on dynamic programming.
Signed an NDA, so I can't tell details, but the questions were fairly hard.
Get your trees and hash tables down.
Implemented LRU as well.
