Interview Details – Typical 5 person all day interview. Most questions are straight out of interview book and careercup. If you don't go through one of the common algorithms texts, you are only hurting yourself. Be prepared for vague questions and keep a cool head, stressing out will bomb your chances. Try to make the interview two-sided and ask in-depth questions, make sure you seem very interested in the job, this will take you further than you think.
Interview Question – Shortest path graph question you should probably be up on if you just graduated, if not review Skienna or one of those texts. View Answer
Negotiation Details – Sign-on bonus negotiated, salary stayed static.
Other Details - The process took a day.
