Security Systems Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Diego, California
Process
Had a brief technical phone interview and was then invited for an on-site interview.
The on-site interview lasted a little over 5 hours, during which I interviewed with 6 team members one at a time. The interviews covered a variety of topics, including:
- Buffer overflow questions
- Brain teasers
- Sorting algorithms
- C/C++ questions
The interviewers were all very patient and friendly.
Questions
Given a sorted array that can have both negative and positive integers, write an algorithm to sort the array of the squares of the integers. Optimize it.
