Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
Referred by friends, I first finished some algorithm problems on HackerRank. Then they scheduled me for a phone interview. The interview process was nice, and I had a very good talk with the interviewer. Most of the questions discussed were related to algorithms and basic data structure knowledge.
Remember to keep talking with them and explain how you solve each problem by decomposing it into smaller parts. State what the first step is and what the next step will be.
