Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Skybox Security.
Software Engineer
So I had 3 interviews lined up. The first was a technical one with two team leads, it was about an hour. The second interview was with another team lead and a group manager. The last one was with HR. I only completed the first interview though.
- Can you create a data structure that counts the occurrences of each word in a given array of strings?
- What is the most frequent word in the provided array of strings?
Senior Software Engineer
I had an initial chat with HR. Then, I completed an easy coding challenge. After that, I did a live coding interview focused on algorithms with a technical interviewer.
- Implement an algorithm during a live coding session.
Software Developer
Had a call with HR first, then went through 3 technical interviews. All the questions were pretty standard, stuff I'd researched beforehand. The recruiter was really nice, she explained the process well and introduced the interviewers.
- Could you implement a minimum stack, one that functions like a normal stack but can also provide the minimum value in constant time?
