Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

The interview process was the fastest I have experienced. I met them at the career fair on Day 1. Day 3, I had an on-campus interview. Day 4, I answered HR questions online. Day 10, I received an offer.

Questions

First, a trivial algorithm question: find the minimum element in a list. Mention all assumptions and write generic code.

Started with a JUnit Testing question: How to use the tool.

Then, an Object-Oriented question about how I would build the software for a restaurant cashier.

Followed by a basic database question about how I would structure a database.

Extensive discussion about my resume and HR questions.
