Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

June 5, 2014
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online with no internal referral, and a few days later, a recruiter contacted me.

For the phone interview, I was asked a multi-threading and thread safety question, for which I had not prepared. I was focusing on data structures, algorithms, and design. Given that I did not prepare for this type of question, I was notified by the recruiter two to three days after the phone interview.

Questions

The unexpected question was on thread safety, for which I had not prepared before the interview.
