Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

April 1, 2022

Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The interview lasted one hour. I was given a tree to traverse and asked to create a descending list from it. Since it was a binary search tree, this was relatively easy.

It took me some time to figure out the time complexities and how we could optimize the solution. I believe this was the factor contributing to my rejection.
