Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
The process started with a phone interview, which led to an on-site interview. I encountered a coding question at the same difficulty level as one would expect for an on-site during the initial phone interview.
The NYC office was really nice. The on-site interview process is about the same as most other tech companies, usually starting with coding questions and then one architecture/design question.
Questions
Many of the questions exploited data structures for fast running time. I would also practice designing features.
