Interview
two 45 minute interviews. first one asked you stuff like time complexity, and to develop an algorithm to find whether two strings were anagrams of each other. second interview had you actually implement the question they asked you. For me it was whether two linked lists intersect. They are very nice and they help you out. They don't expect you to know everything off the top of your head so if you forget the syntax for something, they'll help you out.
