Software Developer Interview Experience

Process

The process was pretty simple. There was a career fair at my school. I approached the recruiters for more information, and the next thing I knew, I had an interview with them.

After the interview (which was purely behavioral questions) – kind of normal for a first interview – I was told to wait for them to contact me.

About a week later, I received an email from one of the recruiters letting me know that I had an interview at a particular time. I was not given a heads-up or anything, so that was kind of frustrating.

During the interview, they went over a PowerPoint, kind of trying to sell you on GM, because let's face it, as graduating college students, we may all get approached by different companies. Then we did a tour of the building, showing us where the magic happens, and finally, it was the interview.

The interview was all behavioral questions again – no technical questions, mainly because they put you through an intense training program once you get hired.

Questions

  1. What was one wrong decision that you made in the past and what was the outcome?
  2. What was a risk that you took recently and what happened after you took that risk?
  3. Tell me about a time when you were presented with a problem, but did not have the tools to solve the problem.
  4. Why do you want to work for GM? What made you choose us?
