Process

The interviews themselves were very fair. The interview questions that were asked can be found by reading CTCI or any algorithms books, but they were tweaked a little.

I had three back-to-back interviews, which made me really nervous, but the interviewers were all really kind. Sometimes it was hard to hear the interviewers, but if you just asked them to repeat the question, they'd be happy to.

Questions

Standard algorithms, object-oriented, and database questions.

I don't think I had the optimal solution, but we talked about how we could improve on the solution that I had written.
