No Offer – Interviewed in Feb 2012 – Reviewed Apr 16, 2012
Interview Details –
The recruiter is nice and tell you about what the complete process will be. Topcoder and a book is suggested to read. Based my experience, the topcoder and book make me feel much comfortable during the interview. And recruiter give me sufficient to prepare, until you feel you are fully ready.
The interviewer is from Europe (randomly I think). So the oral communication become a problem at the end of the interview. The programming problem solving is on a shared Google Doc. But the the phone call become a problem, the interviewer refuse to use the shared doc as a communication media, which cause a n ineffective interview actually...
Interview Question – About Binary-tree problem and complexity. Answer Question
Other Details - I applied through a recruiter and the process took 3 weeks.
