Software Engineer Interview Experience - Los Angeles, California
Process
I dropped my resume at Adobe during a university career fair and secured an on-campus interview the next morning.
A senior software engineer interviewed me. He was easy to chat with and seemed prepared for the interview.
I hadn't expected the interview not to involve any algorithmic questions (which I had spent a night preparing for), but instead, to feature four system-design-like questions.
It took a week to learn they had decided to move forward with other candidates.
Questions
How to implement a semaphore with a mutex?
How does a mobile app obtain data from a server?
Write a SQL query to get an attribute from a table.
How to move and rotate a window from one state to another?
