Software Engineer Interview Experience - Seoul, South Korea

March 1, 2018
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The process took 2.5 months from the time I received the call from the recruiter until I got the rejection email. The process was extremely slow and a bit chaotic.

First was a phone interview, and the interviewer sounded friendly.

The second round consisted of four one-hour scheduled interviews on the same day. However, one of the interviewers was not available, and that interview was rescheduled for a later date.

Three of the four interviewers were nice and asked questions, listening to my answers. One interviewer, however, asked a question he found online and expected me to produce the exact same solution. I did manage to solve his question, which had the same running time, though the code I wrote on the whiteboard was verbose compared to the much smaller online solution (in terms of lines of code).
