Software Engineer Interview Experience

Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I was contacted by a recruiter by phone. We had a brief conversation about my career preferences and went over my resume. After that, I took a one-hour online programming challenge. The recruiter was helpful and seemed interested in my background. The technical part of the interview, however, was difficult.

Questions

Fairly complicated string-manipulation questions, using my programming language of preference.
