Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

First, there was a phone interview. It was a bit technical, but not excessively so. The questions included:

  • "Tell me about yourself."
  • "Describe a difficult situation and how you handled it."
  • "What is your experience?"

Then, an on-site interview followed, which took two hours.

Questions

One-page question: Write a message queue system that gets from one queue and writes to another. There are two processes handling this whole thing - multi-threaded.

One algorithm and one data structure question.
