Process
The first phone call was with the recruiting person and covered basic personality topics. It lasted about 10 minutes.
The second interview occurred about a week later with someone technical. This interview lasted approximately 30-40 minutes.
It focused mostly on different data structures and basic programming concepts. I had chosen Java as my language, so there were some questions about somewhat basic Java concepts.
Overall, the questions were easier than I anticipated, but I still feel I could have answered them more effectively and clearly.
Questions
What is a global variable?
What are postorder, preorder, etc.?
What is the difference between a tree and a directed acyclic graph?
All of that kind of stuff.
