Software Engineer Interview Experience - Menlo Park, California
Process
I gave my resume to a recruiter on campus and set up a phone interview.
The interview was straightforward: an efficient string lookup from an array of strings (the type of questions that are solved using a trie).
I thought I bombed the phone screening, but I got invited to an onsite.
The onsite consisted of two technical interviews and a behavioral interview with a technical question at the end.
Questions
Several tree questions.
For example, how to check if two BSTs have the same number of elements (linear time, constant space).
