Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied online after representatives came to campus.

About six months later, I received a call from a recruiter.

They then transferred me to a campus recruiter. We chatted briefly over the phone, and I was subsequently set up with a technical phone interview.

Questions

I was asked about my research and then was asked one question that took up the remaining time of the allotted 45 minutes.

I found it difficult since I had not seen something similar before. In retrospect, I think my nerves got the better of me.
