Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Dublin, Ireland

February 1, 2019
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

First round video interview with two developers.

I couldn’t understand the accent of the main interviewer (strong European accent) as I’m also a non-native English speaker.

I had to ask him to repeat the question sometimes, and he was laughing because of that, which made me feel very bad.

They asked some very language-specific questions, and then moved on to ask me to write code to solve a problem.

I never heard anything back from them after the interview. One of the worst interviews I’ve ever had.

Questions

Java-specific questions:

  • Generic types
  • Hash code
  • hashCode() function in the String class, etc.

Write code to print a tree in a particular order.
