Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

Onsite:

  • Approximately 12 whiteboard questions (10 minutes each) - language agnostic.
  • Approximately 4 interviewers.

Then, lunch and a tour of the MPK campus.

Prior to that, contacted the university recruiter (online applications are a crapshoot), followed by phone screens.

Questions

Mostly "prove you know data structures & algorithms and that you've done undergrad coursework." So compilers, some graphics, but no "1000% contrived" toy problems.

Know well-known algorithms and data structures by heart. They're not BS, so you won't get super edgy or "prove you're a genius" data-structure interview questions.

Know how to recognize exponential time problems.
