Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Ottawa, Ontario
Process
Referred by a friend. A phone call set up the interview. The interview process was very impersonal. It was a cookie-cutter interview consisting of five back-to-back technical interviews where the interviewers came with a sheet of set questions.
This was more of solving programming trivia (e.g., linked lists, ++p or p++, etc.).
Questions
Write a real-time clock.
Do factorial calculation using recursion.
Write a reverse linked list.
