Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I was contacted by a Netflix HR representative via LinkedIn.

I followed up and spoke with the HR person, and then had a phone interview with a technical manager.

I passed that initial phone screen but declined the on-site interview when I realized that all Netflix employees work on-site in Los Gatos, CA, and I would have had to relocate.

Questions

The phone interview covered some simple algorithmic questions:

  • What is the complexity of lookup/insert for a linked list?
  • What is the complexity of lookup/insert for a hash table?

We talked through the computation of Fibonacci numbers.
