Software Engineer Interview Experience - Zürich, Zürich
Process
I went through two phone interviews, in which I had to solve a DSA problem. The interviewing environment was more like a Word file than an IDE, so good syntax knowledge is necessary.
After these two interviews, I was invited for an on-site day, which included four technical interviews and a googliness interview.
Questions
All the questions asked in the technical interview required a good knowledge of DSA. The Googliness interview was quite easy and friendly.
