Process

You really need to know your stuff.

They asked so many difficult questions. This is NOT for the faint of heart.

Beware: know your data structures and Big O times like the back of your hand.

Be prepared to communicate everything you think as they ask you questions, and prepare to write a lot on whiteboards.
