Process

One technical phone screen interview was followed by five onsite interviews. The phone screen was very straightforward. The onsite interviews were completely technical and thorough. However, if you are very comfortable with all tree, linked list, and graph questions, then you should be able to do a decent job. All the interviewers were very friendly and always gave hints, etc.

Questions

Designing a memory management system. Coming straight out of college, I was not used to this. But the interviewer gave me enough pointers that I was able to do a decent job.
