Software Engineer Interview Experience - Boston, Massachusetts

March 1, 2010

Process

I got an interview through a recruiter.

It was technical. He asked me first to describe and explain my past project.

Then we moved on to technical questions, including:

  • Heap
  • Tree
  • Balanced tree

Big-O complexity questions followed each answer.

After he was satisfied, he talked about the company. It seems to be a great place to work.

Given the intensity of the interview, I assume the technical level there is high.

Questions

When is a balanced tree better than a hash table?
