Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
A phone interview, an onsite interview and an additional phone interview. The first phone interview is easy and only about graph searching. The onsite interview includes three interviews. Two of them were coding challenges, and the other one included behavior questions. One of the problems is hard on LeetCode, and the others should be medium, but both of them are not hard to solve. The additional phone interview is easy on LeetCode, but I failed :(
Questions
Move Zeroes problem from Leetcode.
