Software Developer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
I sent my resume to a manager and had a one-hour phone interview with him. He then wanted to see me onsite and, at that point, transmitted me to a recruiter to schedule the trip.
I had three interviews, a lunch, and two more. The questions ranged from linked lists to graphs. Overall, the questions were simple, but I realized I needed to take great care with coding on the whiteboard, which I was not prepared for.
Questions
It was a compiler team. I had to design an alias analysis.
