Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California

November 1, 2009
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I was asked a combination of algorithm and coding questions, as well as design questions. The interviewers were pleasant and offered hints when I got stuck.

I thought I did well, but apparently, some of them felt that they had to offer me hints, and another interviewer felt that I was giving very short answers.

I would have loved to get an offer, but that was not to be :-)

Questions

Given a grid of size m by n, write an algorithm that computes all paths from (0,0) to (m,n). You can always step horizontally or vertically but cannot reverse your direction.
