Software Engineer Interview Experience

Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Online coding challenge followed by two 45-minute coding interviews.

I was selected for a third 45-minute interview, after which I did not receive an offer.

I was not provided an explanation for why I was not selected, though it was most likely due to a lack of relevant coding/software experience.

Questions

Serialize and deserialize a query. Maximum sum subarray. Binary search.
