Sort a big array over many machines, How would you do it efficiently
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Euclid (San Francisco, CA) in May 2016
Interview
There is a brief technical phone interview. That is followed by coding challenge that you do at home in a fixed amount of time. In person interview consisted of whiteboard questions and general discussion about what they do and team fit. Everyone I met was very nice except for the CTO. Overall, I felt like the process relied too much on happening to know the trick to specific problems rather than questions that you could work through to find a solution.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The phone interview consisted of a single algorithm question that relied entirely on getting a "trick" in order to be able to solve the question in O(1) time. I had an answer that worked in O(n) time, but I don't think this would have passed muster. The take-home test involves parsing some data out of log files. The in-person interview involved one classic recursion problem and then a number of Big-O questions on the whiteboard.
