Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
The process took a little more than a month. There was one phone interview, which included a discussion about past projects and a small coding problem.
For the on-site interview, I met four people:
- Discussion on past projects, including one algorithm question related to a data structure.
- An object-oriented code design question.
- Algorithm questions on arrays and trees.
- A system design question.
The people there were very nice, and the interview was smooth.
Questions
The questions were not very hard, but they required tweaks to regular ways you think about data structures.
