Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

All behavioral questions came from these two interviewers, except for one technical question: to implement a hash table.

I implemented it using the method my university taught me. One interviewer said it was good, but the other asked, "Wait, you can use a BST?"

Yes, I can, but I'd rather use a linked list because I don't want to implement a BST for you. Plus, you have to deal with balancing to make it fully efficient.

What was funny was that the other interviewer reacted with, "Really?!" They then had a discussion about it while I just sat there.

Also, they didn't respond to any of their candidates.
