November 1, 2014
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Did three rounds of interviews.

First round: design a system to detect homeworking copying, which means input two strings and an integer K. If there is a common substring of them with a length larger than K, return true; else, return false.

Second round: nearly all behavior questions. In the last five minutes, they asked me to code up a linked list reverse function.

Third round: build a dictionary trie and implement a search function, mainly focusing on OO design patterns.
