Software Engineer Recent Grad Interview Experience

January 1, 2016

Process

I was contacted by a recruiter over LinkedIn and set up a phone interview with her. This was just a simple talk about the position, what the process would be like, and if I was interested.

Next was an online coding sample that had to be completed, followed by two phone interviews and then the on-site interviews.

All the engineers I talked to were nice and polite. They listened and answered any questions I had after the interview.

The recruiter was also very nice and answered all my questions either the day I sent them or the next day. I was also kept informed of my status throughout the entire process, from beginning to end, and received information from the recruiter the day after my interviews each time.

Overall, it was a very well-done and painless process. If only I had gotten an offer, haha.

Questions

Pretty standard programming questions for someone coming out of college.
