Software Engineer - Intern Interview Experience - United States
Process
I received a referral and was invited to apply.
After waiting a few more weeks, a recruiter reached out to me to set up the first interview. This interview lasted about 40 minutes and consisted of two technical questions:
- One LeetCode Easy
- One LeetCode Medium
I advanced to the final round interview, where I was presented with two LeetCode Medium questions.
Questions
They asked me to create a deep copy of a linked list with random pointers. This is very similar to Leetcode 138 (https://leetcode.com/problems/copy-list-with-random-pointer/).
