Process
No phone screen. Direct offsite. Interviewed by 5 engineers and a manager.
- Linked lists,
- Data structures,
- Algorithms.
Multiple coding and networking questions were asked. One of the interviewers was not listening to any of the answers, which was strange as she was more involved in disproving what I was saying. This was weird.
Apart from that, the process was smooth.
