Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
The process started with three phone interviews. Each interview consisted of algorithm questions, and I programmed all of them in OCaml, even without mastery of the language.
I then received an onsite interview, which included three 2-on-1 interviews. I didn't use any OCaml in these.
The first two interviews were on the level of the phone interviews, but the third one had more constraints, and I didn't pass that one.
Questions
Write functions on binary trees in OCaml.
