Software Engineer, Backend Interview Experience - United States
Process
It was a phone screening that lasted one hour.
Most of the interview focused on my background and a couple of basic questions about databases. These included the differences between SQL and NoSQL databases and what consistency meant in either type.
Questions
Write a program to find the longest path in a 2D array.
You can move from point A to point B if and only if A <= B, and A and B are adjacent and share the same row or column. The allowed time was about 20 to 30 minutes.
