Software Engineer Interview Experience - Fairfax, Virginia
Process
It was the first-round phone interview. Nothing special.
An Indian interviewer. Nice, but hard to understand.
Questions covered a lot of basic concepts:
- OO
- DB
- OS
- Networking
...all-inclusive.
Google Doc coding was easy, but I only had at most five minutes to code. Finally, he asked about order complexity.
An easy first-round screening interview. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Questions
DB questions like normal forms, inner join, and outer join concepts, which I didn't prepare at all.
Be prepared!
