Software Engineer PhD Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington

January 1, 2017
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Applied online.

Received an email response from HR after months.

Completed one technical phone screen.

Received a rejection in one week.

The part I hated the most is that the interviewer didn't give me any time at the end for questions.

He gave me a problem, and we discussed the solution quite a bit. Then he let me write the code for my solution, which was 75% complete. After that, he pointed out a mistake. I explained how it could be resolved and asked him if I should code that part. He just said, "We are past 45 minutes. Thank you," and hung up!

Questions

There are 7 cities, each with a library. Everything was destroyed. We have to rebuild such that people in every city have access, somehow, to at least one library.
