Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The whole process was pretty enjoyable. It had a coding test to make sure you're not an idiot first.

Then came the phone interview, and this is where I messed up. I messed up on the test cases and forgot about two of them. This is what caused me to fail.

It's alright; I will apply again in the spring and see if I get it.
