I applied for an Android developer position and overall found the interview to be one of the best I’ve gone through.

I was contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn. He asked me to submit my resume, and a few days later, I participated in a phone screen with him. He sent my resume to the hiring manager, and the next day, I was told they wanted to set up a technical interview.

I had the technical interview a week later. Their technical interview was a combination of rounds 2 (coding challenge) and 3 (technical conversation). I was told I did well in their technical interview, and an in-person interview was set up two weeks later.

The in-person interview was in between easy and medium difficulty and had four rounds:

• Behavioral
• Pair-programming
• A general business question/evaluate some code
• A rapid-fire Q&A session

The pair-programming was a bit challenging because you had to learn their software on the fly, but the interviewer I worked with was very informative, and I was able to produce the desired result. I was asked a lot of questions during the Q&A session.

I left the interview confident and was surprised to hear they were going to pass on my candidacy. They provided feedback for why they were passing, and I appreciate that they left feedback.

The technical interview involved writing code in Java to determine if a word was a palindrome and then if parentheses were balanced.

The pair-programming question focused on taking provided data, displaying it on the emulator, and then filtering that data.
