      Software Engineer Interview

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Genentech (Pleasanton, CA)

      Interview

      I did not have a great experience with this interviewer. He was not very cooperative, and when I could not answer one of the questions, I felt like he laughed a little. That made me feel uncomfortable and affected the overall interview experience.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Detect whether a linked list contains a cycle.
