Software Development Engineer (SDE) Interview Experience - Menlo Park, California
Process
It was tough. I was asked to solve two hard questions in less than 40 minutes. The interviewer was kind and helped me in the process.
As I began to dissect the problem, it became apparent that this wasn't going to be a walk in the park. The interviewer wasn't content with surface-level solutions; they wanted to see how deep my understanding of algorithms and data structures went.
We spoke about my previous work experience.
