Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The recruiter was very nice and to the point. They set up the phone interview quickly.

After asking typical questions about my background, they gave me a question that was rated as hard in LeetCode. (I looked it up after the interview.) There was no way I could solve that over the phone in 45 minutes. To be honest, I don't think many people would be able to do that, unless they have come across the question before. Also, the question didn't require any special data structures, so I don't think it had any value.

Interviewer didn't provide any hints either. He just provided the edge case where my algorithm didn't work.

Questions

Some tricky questions with numbers. Didn't require any data structures.
