Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I was contacted by HR in early July, asking if I could have a phone interview in three weeks. I replied that I was "not available until August." HR contacted me again in late July and scheduled a phone interview for late August.

During the interview, I was asked to talk about my resume, including my project and research experiences. I was then asked to write a class to define a deck of cards, and to write a shuffle function for the cards.
