Software Developer Interview Experience

Process

Applied through LinkedIn and received a call from the recruiter.

First, a phone interview was conducted that lasted for about 30 minutes. General questions were asked, and the recruiter went through my resume and explained the job position in detail.

Later, after a week, I received an online test which was about 60 minutes long. Two programming questions were asked, and the choice of programming language was open.

The first question was rather small and was directly from Google's learning courses on Python. The second one was rather difficult and time-consuming, requiring an optimal solution in time.

I did well with both questions, but not up to the mark. I will try again next year.

Questions

The first question was on strings. The second question was on file systems.
