Process

The interview process included a brief phone screening, followed by a video interview with technical questions via Skype. Finally, candidates were flown out to San Francisco for interviews with four engineers.

Overall, the process wasn't particularly difficult, and interviewers seemed understanding if candidates fumbled with technical questions.

For the web developer position, roughly half of the questions focused on data structures, and the other half on web development.

Questions

Implement a cache that had growing requirements, such as a limit on how many items could be stored in it, and should return the most recently placed record. The interviewer didn't seem to care that I was correct, but more how I approached it.
