Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

It was an on-campus interview. The interviewer led the problem-solving process step by step. Once I solved one sub-problem, they moved on to a more complicated one. They also gave hints if I got stuck. The overall interview process was enjoyable, however, I didn't get the final solution right. I heard that some of my peers were invited to a dinner with the team on the same day after their interviews. It might have been an informal interview as well.
