Software Engineer Interview Experience - Sydney, Australia
Process
- Online coding test + technical questions:
Three fairly easy coding questions. Other questions are multiple choice, relating to concurrency, recursion, and data structures.
- 1-on-1 technical phone screen:
A long question where you're told to implement a class that takes in a Trie (multi-parent, multi-child) and has to perform a few methods. No talking was required, which I found strange.
- On-site:
Three back-to-back technical rounds. The first is a 75-minute implementation of a strategy for a board game (open-ended); you're only supervised here. The second is a standard whiteboard question. The third discusses your code from the first round, forces you to think about higher scale, as well as a high-level design question.
Questions
