Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I had three phone interviews. The questions were easy, but I was too slow.

The first phone call was just a conversation with the recruiter. The next two were technical.

The questions they asked were very easy. I had to code functions into a Google Doc, usually taking in an array of ints and spitting out an array of ints.

Questions

They asked me to explain how hashtables worked.
