Software Engineer Interview Experience - Canada
Process
The first round of phone interviews involved a question about detecting palindromes in C.
The second round involved a question on designing a stack, including discussion of tradeoffs.
There were supposed to be two interviews. However, they rejected me after the first and ended the call, stating, "Your background doesn't fit, even though you did well." This was really unprofessional. If they thought my background didn't fit, why interview me in the first place?
Questions
Design a stack; palindrome detection.
Lots and lots of nitty-gritty detail questions on memory and the programming language itself.
