Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Diego, California
Process
It was an on-campus interview.
They first asked me questions about my resume and projects.
I was asked to sort restaurants based on their frequency.
Then, I was given different names for the same chain restaurant, such as 'Market Starbucks', 'Corner Starbucks', and 'Triton Coffee' (all of which are actually Starbucks coffee). I was asked how I could design a system to group these places under one name.
