Software Engineer Interview Experience

July 1, 2017

Process

Two Google Docs back-to-back coding interviews. Each was 30 minutes and involved one engineer on the phone, sharing the Google Doc. One interview was helpful and talkative; we worked through the problem together. The other was not. The engineer was silent the whole time and didn’t pay attention or respond when I asked questions.

Questions

Two coding exercises. I cannot share the questions.
