Software Engineer Interview Experience - Menlo Park, California
Process
Phone interview with recruiter.
The interviewer was very kind and patient, answering all my questions to the best of their abilities.
They sent me resources to study for the upcoming tech screen interview.
The next rounds of tech screen were typical, with a mix of theory, system design, and LeetCode-style coding.
Questions
String manipulation, sorting strings in a list (you should know what lexicographical means), matrix traversal.
System design in later rounds.
