Process

A recruiter reached out to me. After a few phone calls and a phone screen, I headed down to Sunnyvale for an in-person interview.

It was all pretty reasonable. Three people came in and interviewed me for about an hour each. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary or random, given what they knew about me.

Questions

I'd say the most difficult question was about graph theory.

Knowing not much about a graph, I needed to make a traversal from A to B.
