Software Development Engineer Interview Experience
Process
It took about one week for them to grant me an interview. I applied through the school recruiting system. Since it was a first-round interview, the coding challenges were not too difficult, but I struggled to recall everything.
Questions
Not hard, actually. How do you find if there is any loop in a singly linked list? And writing quicksort algorithms, and so on.
