I went through a fairly standard Skype technical interview and was invited on-site.

There were four on-site interviews, which were all about data structures and algorithms, as well as lunch with another interviewer.

I can't help but feel I hit part of the "interview anti-loop" with my attempt. One of my earlier interviews was an open-ended question during which a lot of time was consumed by me trying to communicate my design with the interviewer, and the interviewer generally not giving much feedback until the very end.

While I think I could have done better regarding my communication and data structures, I did fine on my other interviews, only to feel like I should have called it quits after that bad one.

Some open-ended questions that involve applying data structures on certain scenarios.
