Software Developer Interview Experience

May 1, 2008
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The first round was technical, mostly C and C++, with stress on pointers and data structures. There was one general math egg-dropping problem. I got a call later saying I was in for round 2.

A senior developer interviewed me for about an hour. They were very aggressive and not ready to help or discuss the solution (they asked me to write code).

Then, I had a 30-minute session with an HR representative. She seemed totally uninterested.

There was no offer, and I received a rejection email a few days later.

Questions

You have two eggs and a 100-storey building. Find out the highest floor to throw them from so that they won't break, and in the minimum number of tries.
