Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The process was quite long. I started via the FooBar challenge, and then had a phone interview.

After the initial phone interview, I had a round of on-site interviews. Following the on-site interviews, I had yet another round of phone interviews.

It was a great experience all around though, and I look forward to reapplying in the future.

Questions

I was asked a series of programming challenges exclusively. I am bound by a non-disclosure agreement to not reveal the actual questions, though. Similar questions can be found on any number of websites. The challenges were all reasonable enough to be completed in a timely manner, so long as you are well prepared.
