Software Engineering Interview Experience - Tokyo, Japan
Process
The interview process starts with an online challenge, a series of Easy/Intermediate HackerRank problems which you have to finish in a finite time (1h30, if I remember right). After completion, I was matched with an interviewer who asked me about my background and conducted the technical interview.
I answered, I suppose, two out of three questions correctly and did not receive an offer.
Questions
Sorting algorithms (Quicksort and Insertion Sort specifically), DFS, BFS, Data structures (in general), Familiarity with unit testing.
