Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
Straight-forward. Had a phone screen and then an online coding platform interview. Then I had a remote full-day interview with 5 people that included C++ code writing, software design, and one interviewer asked logic puzzles.
Questions
The hardest programming question effectively boiled down to the stock trade question.
Given the price of a stock for each day, what is the maximum profit you could generate? E.g., if the prices were 4, 3, 2, 6, 1, 7, the best profit would occur if you bought at 1 and sold at 7, with a final result of 6.
