Software Engineer Interview Experience - Berkeley, California
Process
First, I had to complete an online assessment on CodeSignal, where I essentially had to design a text editor.
This was more of a practical question rather than a LeetCode algorithmic question, but it was very data structure heavy.
I moved on to the technical interview round, but unfortunately received the rejection email after that.
Questions
The interviewer asked me to design a transaction algorithm. Given a bunch of transactions, I had to determine the concurrent transactions based on some criteria.
