Software Engineer Interview Experience

October 1, 2013

Process

The recruiter somehow had a copy of my resume from 2010. The only contact info that stayed the same was my email address. Once they initiated contact, they were able to arrange for a telephone interview pretty quickly. The phone interview took about 1 hour and 15 minutes. I haven't heard anything back from them yet.

Questions

The phone interview I had was fairly easy.

It focused on string manipulation, and of course, writing the code on a shared screen was the challenging part.
