Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
So, there were four back-to-back interviews. Nothing too bad, except for one interview. It was a linked list problem with a pretty hard difficulty. Looking back, it was a simple solution. Other than that, I had some pretty simple questions. Afterwards, we were open to visiting Seattle.
Questions
Q: Given a linked list with a pointer to 'next' and a pointer to 'random', create a copy of this list.
