Negative ExperienceGot Offer

Process

I was contacted by a recruiter via LinkedIn. I had two phone interviews.

Both involved solving writing Java code in an online editor. After that, I was invited to the San Bruno office for a full loop.

I was interviewed by senior members, ranging from Principal Engineers and Directors to a couple of Architects. Total of four rounds.

One round was on design, one on coding, and the other two were basic CS questions.

The recruiter was helpful throughout the process.

I received the offer but did not like it.

Questions

  1. Design a workflow system.

  2. Print binary tree nodes in zig-zag order, level by level.

  3. Basic CS questions, such as: What happens when you hit "google.com" in a browser? Database design questions, scalability questions, etc.
