Software Engineer Interview Experience - Santa Clara, California
Process
It started with a phone screening with the recruiter. Then followed by a phone/live coding challenge. Then you will get invited for an all-day interview.
The phone interview was not difficult. I was interviewing for a C++ position, so it was mainly testing my pointer knowledge.
The all-day interview was a little challenging. The CTO, VP, and two senior engineers interviewed me. Questions spanned algorithms, C++, data structures, and scripting.
Questions
Understand pointers. Linked list. BST, and C++ (basics).
