Software Engineer Interview Experience - Richmond, Virginia
Process
They flew me out to their campus. The night before the interview, there was a really relaxed question and answer session. The day of the interview, we were taken from the hotel and given a tour of the campus.
After the tour and some lunch, the interview began. There were three interviews:
- A case interview
- A behavioral interview
- A job fit interview
Questions
The most difficult question for me was the coding questions.
They asked about what a certain line of code did, and then they had me code a sorting algorithm or sorts.
I was asked to code a function that would find the first non-repeated letter.
