Software Engineering Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington

October 1, 2018
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I met a recruiter at a career fair, and they directly set up an on-campus interview.

We were taken into a room with an engineer who presented a question on the whiteboard. We were given about 30-40 minutes to solve it.

There were supposedly only two interviews.

I passed the first interview but could not solve the second one's question in time.

Questions

1st Interview had 2 questions:

  1. Given a set of alphabets in sorted order in another language, sort a bunch of words using that alphabet ordering. Big O review afterwards.

  2. This was a follow-up question: alien dictionary - requires graph knowledge.

2nd Interview was a design question about using a buffer with limited size.

Was this helpful?
