Software Developer Interview Experience - Madison, Wisconsin

Process

Applied online and got an e-mail to schedule a phone interview after 2 business days.

Phone interview was about behavioral questions, like all others, nothing difficult.

After the phone interview, you have to schedule an online technical assessment monitored by ProctorU. This was rather painful because it lasted 3 hours.

The technical assessment had 2 parts:

  • In the first part, you learned a weird new programming language and answered 20 multiple-choice questions. It was quite tricky because it's very different from the language you're used to. The more you're used to a language, the more likely you are to make some careless mistakes.
  • The second part consisted of 4 programming assignments, which were of somewhat okay difficulty. You can do them in any language you wish. Non-CS majors can even do it in pseudocode. It was like taking a test. You can't compile your code, so you don't know whether it works, and you can search for library and function syntax, so you have to be good at a language.

After that, they will fly you to an on-site interview. You talk about your projects, hear them brag about Epic, go through a case study (OOP design), and have lunch.
