Engineer Interview Experience - Redmond, Washington

Process

In my opinion, being selected for an interview is the harder part.

Interviews are not as difficult compared to other equally popular companies. Most of the questions will be past interview questions found on the internet.

Even if you know the answer right away, trying to deduce the procedure in front of the interviewer would be helpful in gaining a good impression.

Roughly, about 1 in 5 candidates are selected from interviews. So, if 20 people are interviewed on your day, you would need to be at least the 4th best.

Questions

Given a square grid of numbers, consider all the numbers at the boundary as one layer and the numbers just inside as another layer, and so on. How would you rotate each of the layers of the numbers by a given amount?
