Software Engineering Interview Experience - United States
Process
First, I was reached through Piazza, which I didn't know happened. Had two video technical calls; they were both pretty on the easy to medium difficulty side. The first one was more of a "brute force, write this" "okay, now write it with this condition" and all the way to "write it in one line." Pretty fun interview. Second one was with a more awkward engineer, but the problem was quite difficult. Can't remember what it was though, sorry.
Questions
Something about recursion, something about trees.
