Software Engineer 2016 Interview Experience - New York, New York

January 1, 2016
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Some time after applying for the job, I was sent an email saying I had been selected for an on-campus interview at my university.

Candidates were sent a mass email with a link where they could schedule their time online.

I went there and spent 45 minutes or so in a small room with two interviewers. They asked me about my projects, asked a few technical questions, then answered a few of my questions.

I wrote the code on a piece of paper. Since they were sitting across from me, they could not see me writing it, so it was a little inconvenient compared to whiteboarding/Google Docs/etc.

Both interviewers were nice and did a good job of explaining the company culture and answering questions.

It could have been better, but it was a positive experience overall.

It was my first in-person interview, and I did pretty awfully in terms of communication. I was not surprised I got rejected.

Questions

These were pretty standard tech interview questions. Mine was related to searching. I also had to explain the difference between the stack and the heap.

"Cracking the Coding Interview" would be good preparation. You can find practice problems on places like:

  • Glassdoor's interview review section
  • LeetCode
