Process

This was a telephonic interview.

I was not asked anything related to the technologies I had applied for (C#, SQL, XAML). Instead, the questions were very generic, focusing on data structures and algorithms.

Questions

I was asked about different kinds of tree traversals.

I was also asked to write down the 8 queens problem algorithm.

Was this helpful?
