Neutral ExperienceGot Offer

Process

I had one on-campus interview, and then flew out to their main office for an on-site interview.

I spoke to four different interviewers, each for an hour-long session. All of the interviews included a mix of whiteboard coding problems and behavioral questions. The coding problems were usually fairly short.

Questions

General data structures/algorithms questions, not terribly difficult besides one or two.
