Process
The recruiter summarizes the process.
This involved a phone screen with a couple of programming problems, followed by onsite interviews.
For the onsite portion:
- Programming and design questions.
- Some system, Linux, and domain knowledge questions from managers.
The decision was received in about 10 days.
Questions
Standard Bay Area programming questions are based on binary trees, binary search trees, BFS, DFS, etc.
A lot of importance is given to the specific projects that the team is working on.
It is expected that a candidate knows, at a fairly deep level, the design and architecture for the projects the team works on. Thus, based on experience, it is better to spend time reading up in detail on the design and architecture that the team is working on.
Some questions are very specific to the work the team is currently performing.
