Software Engineering Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
I applied online and heard back a week or so later from a recruiter to set a technical interview with an engineer.
The technical phone interview consisted of several questions about my background and interest, and then two technical questions on a collaborative text editing platform.
The first question was very easy and the second was of medium difficulty. I'm fairly confident I produced correct solutions for both, but I guess it took me too long, as I was not advanced to the next round.
That said, both the recruiter and the interviewer were very cordial, and I had a positive experience overall.
Questions
The first question was to check if a string is a palindrome. The second was more complex and involved dynamic programming.
