Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

I had a phone screening interview. It included several theoretical questions, such as virtual memory, paging, and process vs. thread.

Then, I had three technical interviews.

Following that were interviews with HR, the Hiring Manager, and the "Big Boss" (AA).

The interview questions included design problems, a maze solver, tree serialization/deserialization, and many theoretical questions.

Pros: Good workplaces, free soda. Good benefits, gym, etc. Opportunity to attend training sessions.

Cons: Poor management and unnecessary meetings make it impossible to concentrate on the problem. I would start at 7 to accomplish more before meetings start. Many people from the south do not integrate well into American culture. It is not a caste system here.
