Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience

Process

It took about a month until I received an offer.

The process went from a simple phone screening with the technical recruiter to a live coding exercise with a Senior Software Engineer. Lastly, there was a good old Amazon-style all-day remote interview spree covering coding problems, technical design, and behavioral questions (STAR).

Overall, it was a very pleasant experience as the interviewers were very nice and professional.

Questions

Describe a situation where you weren't able to meet a deadline and how did you handle it?

We have many JavaScript libraries out there, and you're given five options to choose from in order to solve a particular problem. You're not familiar with those libraries, and you don't have time to research them one by one. How do you approach this problem, and how do you choose which library to go for?

Process a large stack of random data and make sure to create a data structure that would allow you to make quick lookups for that data. It should all run faster than O(n) time complexity.
