The interview questions were based on various topics ( all that I had on my resume), however on each of the question, the main focus was on problem handling, reaction and solution (even though you are not able to hit the right solution, please speak up with your ideas. In my case, I did and the interviewers did help me move forward). The interviewers were cordial and made sure I was comfortable and could think in a calm manner. The emphasis was more on problem solving and thinking in the right direction ( rather than language or specifics of a code). For example - 1) Design a web based application ( emphasis was on load balancing, failures etc). 2) Construct your own linked list

Nothing difficult. The unexpected is that they give you a fake business scenario and then you had to write up you recommendation for the business. Later in the day at one of your interview sessions they ask you for a printout of your recommendations. The instructions in the morning weren't very clear and there were printer issues so many of us messed up on that part.

Write a function/method with this signature: bool MyFunc(string term, string input) {} The method should return true if the search term is found in the input string, even when there are other characters in between. Examples: "aba", "bbbbabbxxxxxxbb" returns false "aba", "bbbbabbxxxxxxab" returns true Basically, do I see an 'a', then 'b', then another 'a' before I run off the end of the input string?

Given an integer array containing positive and negative numbers, how do you get the maximum sum of its sub-arrays? Continuous numbers form a sub-array of an array. For example, if the input array is {1, -2, 3, 10, -4, 7, 2, -5}, the sub-array with the maximum sum is {3, 10, -4, 7, 2} whose sum 18.
