Software Engineer - New Grad Interview Experience - United States
Process
I had a fantastic recruiter but a terrible interviewer. She gave me a LeetCode Easy for the first question and then asked me to implement it using three different data structures, which took 30 minutes.
This left me with only six minutes to answer a LeetCode Medium. I miraculously crafted the correct solution for it, but made one small syntax mistake, which broke the program, and I did not advance.
Questions
Given a string of parentheses, return false for an un-balance-able string, or return the number of parentheses needed to balance it.

If it causes errors, you have to fix them. * The codebase is huge without much documentation. The code is literal in itself, so you must ramp up by reading the code instead of documentation. * Sometimes overtime is necessary. You can still manage to maintain work/life balance if you are experienced enough. Most people won't have a problem with this.
