Software Developer Interview Experience - Berkeley, California

September 1, 2017
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online for an after-school event and they got back to me in 5 days. It was heavily focused on string parsing and regular expressions, which I don't really like. Also, during the coding, the camera was turned on the whole time (which means it was on for almost 2 and a half hours). I felt like I was being supervised, even though it was an online coding challenge. I had prepared the data structure part for the position, but while I was taking it, I realized that their interview questions were not testing what I am good at. So, I felt they didn't fit into my career.
