Senior Backend Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
The interview process was okay. I was told that I would get a response within 2 days. I did not get any response.
I waited for a week and sent an email regarding status. I then got a phone call indicating that I was not selected.
Guess if I had not sent an email, they would have never contacted me. Bad way of treating candidates. I could have picked another opportunity I had.
Questions
It was an easy question related to anagrams and a performance question, O(n). I had to do it on a laptop. I screwed up, and it was definitely my fault.
