Software Engineer II Interview Experience - Palo Alto, California
Process
It was an algorithm, but the interviewer spoke very poor English, so I couldn't understand the problem at all, and I failed.
The algorithm was about stacks, so it was not that hard. However, not understanding the interviewer started to frustrate me, causing me to commit dumb mistakes or just get lost totally.
Questions
An algorithm question that I don't recall at the moment.
