I applied online. I interviewed at Allstate (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2016
Interview
In total I had a little less than one month to prepare for the interview. I knew I wouldn’t be able to finish the interview preparation book completely, so I decided to solve three exercises from each section. The whole thought process as well as iterations over solutions were translated onto paper and then compared to the answers at the end of the book.
