Software Engineer Interview Experience - Palo Alto, California
Process
Had one-hour phone screen and two one-hour video calls.
Recruiters were somewhat unresponsive, but the scheduling software they use is nice.
Questions were tough; I could tell the engineers are qualified.
Questions
Implement an autocomplete engine where the input is a prefix string, followed by a number representing the minimum number of words that could come after it. For example, wa3 could represent "wafer", "water", or "Washington". Gelat2 could represent "gelatin", but not "gelato". Return all of these autocomplete results in a list.
Implement a thread-safe queue.
