I was very impressed that the process moved so fast, with no delays. The whole process took a fraction of the time it would take at other big companies.
I had two rounds of phone interviews, then was called onsite. At the onsite interview, I had seven rounds of interviews, each one hour long.
The first was with a senior manager and focused on behavioral and goals questions, then basic questions from what I had written on my resume.
The next five were technical. I was tested on C and Java because that was what I said I was most comfortable with. Questions ranged from knowledge of the language (e.g., questions about how the garbage collector in Java works) to coding questions on trees, pointers, recursion, string manipulation, and arrays.
Some interviewers also asked computer architecture questions (e.g., caches, superscalar processor design).
The last meeting was with the project manager. They asked a few questions concerning whether I liked group members and projects being worked on.
All in all, the interviewers were very focused, professional, bright, and helpful. It felt more like an interesting intellectual conversation than an interview.
was related to stacks. Can't say the exact question.
