      Associate Software Engineer Interview

      20 Nov 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Pleasanton, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. I interviewed at Workday (Pleasanton, CA) in Nov 2015

      Interview

      Participated in an on-campus interview for a 30-minute technical interview. I was asked to find the first duplicated character in a string. Moved on to the on-site interview in Pleasanton, there were 5 rounds of interviews, 4 technical and 1 informal where we asked members of Generation Workday (basically a group of fresh college grads working there) about anything we wanted to know about Workday. Each technical interview was 45-minutes long and one-on-one. They asked me string questions, array questions, tree search questions. Generally everything wasn't too bad, and they're very helpful with hints. It was only the last question that really stumped me because I was never asked something like that -- I've placed it as the one interview question I had below. Advice: Go over DFS, BFS, string, and array problems.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Think about Google's autofill functionality. Currently, the way we've implemented it is that after every letter a request is sent to the server to find all valid possibilities of what the word could be. So, for example, if we're trying to search "hello", after we type the letter "h", then a request is sent. Then we type "e" and another request is sent. The number of valid possibilities becomes smaller and smaller as we type more and more of the word out. The current model of sending a request to a server after each keystroke is pretty expensive so what sort of algorithm would you use to limit the number of server requests sent while still maintaining the autofill functionality (meaning that it appears rapid to the user and doesn't stall).
