      Senior Software Engineer - Data Persistence & Messaging Interview

      May 19, 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Pleasanton, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Workday (Pleasanton, CA) in May 2016

      Interview

      1) Initial technical phone screen with hiring manager which concluded with basic offline coding test in language of choice that takes a few hours to complete. 2) Next step is non trivial coding exercise to do at home that can take roughly from 5 - 10 hours. 3) In person interview with several members of team 4) Decision on whether to extend offer

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Problem: o A traveler flies to many cities (airports) in an unbroken chain of flights with no loops i.e never revisiting an airport. o For every flight, she has a boarding pass with only a From (City) and To (City) printed on it but no date/time. o At the end of her journey, she hands you all her boarding passes but they’re shuffled, so you don’t know the starting or the ending city. Can you: o Write logic or pseudocode to print her whole journey in sequence. It should print e.g. (Starting) City1 -> City2 ->….-> (Ending) CityX o State the time complexity of your solution. o you’re given a Set of BoardingPass objects as input. o there could be as many as hundreds of thousands of unique cities/airports. o memory is no concern (i.e. you have infinite memory!). Optimize for execution time (time complexity).
