Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Was contacted by a recruiter from the company and had a 15 minute talk about the position. We scheduled a phone interview with a software developer which consisted of coding fundamentals questions and a 30 minute live coding challenge. After that interview, I was invited to interview with the company in Chicago. The on-site interview consisted of a coding question, lunch with 2 developers, a tour of the building, and another coding question.

Overall, was a good experience, the developers were interesting to talk to, but I did not have enough experience as a non-cs major to qualify for the job.
