Process
Only a single interview with two of the software engineers. I was asked technical questions based on how compilers work, as well as behavioral questions to gauge my interest in the company. They were very nice, and they helped me out when I was struggling. They were also very encouraging, urging me to think harder and come up with the correct answer.
Questions
If you were to design a compiler, what would be the first feature you would build for it?
