Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

October 1, 2015
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online and emailed the campus recruiter directly.

The phone screen was technical and required coding on CoderPad.

The onsite interview was an "Invitational" with about 15 other candidates. The interview questions were hard, but I think I got most of them right.

After the onsite interviews, I waited for two weeks without a response until I finally sent a reminder email. I received a phone call a couple of days later stating that I wouldn't be moving forward in the process.

Questions

Design the services behind an Amazon product page.

Given a tree where every right node is a leaf (meaning it can only extend on the left side), invert it such that the leftmost node is now the root, and all of the previous left nodes are now on the right side. The former right nodes will be on the left side.
