Process

I contacted a recruiter via email, asking about possible software intern options. She then arranged a 15-minute chat to discuss my background and the projects on my resume.

She then put me into the process for a software engineering intern position.

There were two technical phone interviews, focusing on advanced topics in algorithms.

The first interviewer wasn't very helpful. The second interviewer was helpful and friendly.

Questions

How can you find the median of an unsorted array in linear time, without sorting the array?

Given a maze and limited memory O(Array_Height), solve the maze using the available memory complexity.

General questions about time and space complexity in each question, and questions about disjoint sets.

Given a UTF-8 string in a byte array, validate each rune.
