Software Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
I was invited to a networking event with an online questionnaire. The online questionnaire had LeetCode easy to medium difficulty level questions. I cracked it and was invited for an onsite interview. The onsite had four tech rounds.
Two tech rounds were with Hiring Managers, and two tech rounds were with a Tech Lead and a Software Engineer, I believe.
Questions
Binary tree question. The solution involved doing an in-order traversal. I'm not exactly remembering the question.
