Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience

Process

This was a fairly simple tree question, but the interviewer started five minutes late and ended five minutes early, making my interview only twenty minutes instead of the scheduled thirty.

I believe he misread the time, as I had not finished the problem. Unfortunately, I did not notice the early finish time until after leaving the interview room.

Overall, I am very disappointed, as I think with the extra ten minutes, I would have been able to solve the problem more fully.
