Software Engineer Interview Experience - Amherst, Massachusetts
Process
I went with the career services at UMass Amherst and interviewed in a cubicle. The interview questions were pretty basic algorithmically but required you to understand the domain of the problem and how complicated things can get.
About 45 minutes interview, and I coded on paper. They are probably going to change this process as they grow, but it was very relaxed and fun.
