Process

The first round was an on-campus, back-to-back interview with two interviewers. One was a Software Engineer, and the other was a PM. Both asked technical questions.

The first interviewer asked about object-oriented design concepts and how to detect a loop in a linked list. He also reviewed my resume and asked for details about my projects.

The second interviewer asked how to find all permutations of a given array. Although I provided the correct answer, he seemed more interested in my explanation of the logic.
