Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I was contacted by a college recruiter and was scheduled for a phone interview a week later.

The first interview went alright for me. They asked one coding question, which I got. Then they asked a thinking question, which I answered too early before I actually thought it all through and realized as the interview was ending.

Then I was scheduled for a second phone interview, where I didn't do so well. That was the end of that interview.
