Software Development Engineer II Interview Experience - Bellevue, Washington

August 1, 2010
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Two whiteboard interviews dealt with linked lists. Another interview focused on sorting.

Unfortunately, I didn't have time to ask many questions.

The questions presented were harder than required for the position. The team wasn't developing brain surgery or rocket science software.

I left with a negative impression of the group.

Questions

Write a function that duplicates a singly linked list. Each node also has a random reference that points to any of the other nodes.
