Software Engineer Interview Experience

Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Two rounds back-to-back.

First round: coding problems.

  • Wiggle property
  • Graph

Second round: string manipulation.

The problems were not that hard, but you needed to write real code, which made it not easy. The interviewees were good, except for the first one, who did not provide many instructions when I was stuck.

Questions

They asked coding problems and let me write code on paper, only coding.
