Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I had a phone interview first. The questions were pretty simple, including basic algorithms, data structures, and some about my resume.
Then, I had the on-site interview. It involved four people and focused much more on my resume, some concepts, and simple algorithms. The algorithm parts were very easy, but they liked to ask about concepts, ranging from database concepts to normal Java concepts (as I had mentioned I prefer to use Java).
Questions
Conception is like an interface and an abstract class, String and StringBuffer.
