Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I was contacted by a university recruiter, followed two weeks later by a technical phone screen (1 hour).
An on-site interview, which included four 45-minute technical interviews and a lunch interview, was scheduled two weeks after that.
The on-site interview questions were challenging but not impossible. I definitely should have practiced writing more code beforehand, particularly in the language of the interview (Java, for me). Conversations with the interviewers went well.
Questions
Technical coding questions on a whiteboard.
