Process
I was contacted after submitting my resume at a job fair.
I had one phone interview with an engineer. The interview included a fairly straightforward problem to solve on an online coding website.
Next, I was invited to interview at one of their larger offices. I chose Seattle and was flown out for an interview.
On my interview day, 13 other people were also interviewing. That day, I received breakfast and lunch at the company cafeteria and had interviews with 3 engineers.
One engineer asked me how I would implement, create, and solve a maze.
Another asked me to code a translation from base 26 to decimal.
Questions
I was asked:
- How would I implement, in OO code, a maze?
- Given that implementation, how would I design an algorithm to solve that maze?
- How would I create a random maze from scratch with an algorithm?
