Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
They came to our school, so I had an on-campus screening interview, followed by a final round interview consisting of four people for 45 minutes of technical questions.
The first round question was straight out of CTCI. The final round questions were medium-level LeetCode problems:
- One OOD
- Two involving sorting or a hashmap
- One problem solvable using a Trie
You were given the choice of either using the whiteboard or coding in an environment of your choice on your laptop.
Interviewers were all super friendly. The recruiter gave a tour of their HQ at the beginning of the interview.
