Interview
Met company employee at university recruiting night.
Stuck around after and handed resume to the employee
Employee boasted about the work culture, laid back easy going etc.
Took resume, and sent email the next day about a phone interview.
Had 1 phone phone interview and it was brief, interviewer was extremely rude, repeatedly told me I didn't know enough because I hadn't taken the class even though I repeatedly answered the questions correctly.
What are lists, binary search trees, complexity and big oh notation. What is the complexity of various operations, insertion, deletion, search in a BST and Linked list
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tripadvisor
Interview
I applied for this company on our campus career fair, and in the next few days they scheduled me an on-campus interview. One person interviewed me for about 45 minutes. Only technical questions, didn't ask me about my project or something else. He asked me to write code in a white board and then asked me some question about the code.He also told me there would be 3 rounds of interviews.
Then I received an email telling me I passed the interview and then came up the 2nd round - telephone interview. It's a 30-minute interview asking a quite simple question and some extensions. Then he started to introduce the job and environment of their company.
And after maybe 2 weeks, there will be an on-site interview if you pass the previous one.
