Software Development Interview Experience - Redmond, Washington
Process
Referred by a past intern.
Started with a simple over-the-phone interview. Then was brought to Redmond to go through four rounds of interviews.
The trip was entirely paid for, and we were very well taken care of.
Of the four interviewers, only one typed notes on a computer. All were very friendly and interactive.
Questions
You are given two integers, n and m.
Create a data structure that has n elements. Then, eliminate every mth element until you have only one remaining.
Return the index of that element.
