Backend Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
First round interview only - in Java for a backend engineer. This is a non-LeetCode style interview with a nice, relaxed atmosphere.
Expect straightforward questions; no algorithms.
If you can code, you should be fine for the first round.
Questions
String parsing where there are infinite parts to a question. Try to get through as many parts as possible; I got through 3 parts. You walk through your test cases, and they have their own test cases.
Input was something along the lines of "start end", and you had to determine what input was valid from a set of rules.
