Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California

February 1, 2016
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The interviewer was really mean and even didn't understand the questions well enough himself.

He asked me to:

  • Find an element in a rotated array (with duplicates).
  • Find the minimum in a rotated array (with duplicates).

I don't understand why he asked two similar questions! I was just tired of typing the same stuff.

I said I could implement the one without duplicates and improve. He rejected it, stating: "No, there are duplicates." WTF...

Questions

Find element in rotated array (has duplicates) Find minimum in rotated array (has duplicates)
