Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
The first round was a coding challenge on HackerRank. The task was to find bugs in a Git repository. I cloned the repo and used Node.js and Express to compile and run the code. I then found and fixed the errors. I am still waiting to hear back from them regarding further processes.
Questions
I had to solve 7 bugs inside .js files.
This is something you don't have a choice in. The bugs could be anywhere, and you were given 90 minutes to find and solve them.
