Engineering Residency Program Interview Experience

Process

My recruiter was friendly and helpful. He was very flexible in terms of scheduling interviews.

I was told I would need to do two technical phone interviews for this position, followed by a Skype interview that was a mix of technical and behavioral.

My first two phone interviews went okay; I struggled through the questions but eventually solved them. I think they must have been on the fence about me, because I was asked to do a third technical phone interview.

That one went badly, and I never got to the Skype interview.

Questions

I can't give specific details because I signed an NDA. However, the experience involved:

  • Graph traversal
  • Big-O analysis
  • A challenging puzzle question.
