Systems Software Engineer Interview Experience - Santa Clara, California
Process
HR really pissed me off by taking more than a week between each phone screen. Totally, I had 3 phone screens and 6 on-site 1:1 interviews. In almost 3 interviews, I faced the same question of reversing a linked list. I can say only one round was challenging, where I was asked to solve a puzzle using the Divide and Conquer method. All my interviews went really well, but I got rejected, saying I had no direct/relevant experience.
Questions
Reversing a linked list, Divide and Conquer, malloc-Alligned, BST questions.
