Process
I had two interviews on the same day.
The first interviewer simply asked questions without really introducing himself or allowing me to introduce myself. Additionally, he was not very helpful; he just pasted the questions and said, "Start."
The second interviewer was much more friendly. He introduced himself, allowed me to introduce myself, and then explained the questions.
Questions
Two questions.
The first required dynamic programming and heaps. The second required queues and linked lists.
