Software Developer Interview Experience - Santa Clara, California

January 1, 2011

Process

I had five interviews with different teams.

These interviews covered projects focusing on topics like tail recursion, linked lists, dynamic memory allocators, and languages such as C and Java.

They flew me in and paid for my hotel and food during my two-day stay. A limo was provided, or I had the option to rent a car at their expense.

The interview was easy. I was interviewing at a former Sun Microsystems branch, so I am unsure if this experience applies to standard Oracle.

Questions

What is the difference between tail recursion and normal recursion, and more similar questions?
