Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Pleasanton, California
Process
I spoke with a recruiter through my college career fair and was invited for a campus interview the next day, where I was asked a few technical questions.
I was then invited for the on-site final round interviews, where I was interviewed by four different staff members.
They gave presentations before and after the interviews, which was fun. They really made you feel welcome over there.
Questions
I can't remember, but I believe it was along the lines of level-by-level sums of a BST.
