Process
I was contacted by a recruiter and signed up for the software engineering position for university graduates.
My degree is in Chemical Engineering, but I have taken multiple programming classes and practiced coding on the side.
The first part of the process involved submitting a coding sample and answering two algorithm-based questions in 60 minutes.
Questions
The questions asked on the coding sample were algorithm-based questions. However, I am not allowed to give specifics.
