Software Engineer Interview Experience

October 23, 2014
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I was contacted by a recruiter after submitting my resume at a recruiting fair. This took approximately three weeks.

Interviews were scheduled quickly.

The recruiter was very helpful and accommodating.

While they have a reputation for harder questions, these were not difficult. However, they do require you to write code on paper, and then they type it into a compiler, which is slightly unusual.

Questions

The questions were okay, nothing surprisingly unexpected. However, the interviewers were unhelpful and didn't offer much feedback.

Was this helpful?
