Software Engineer Interview Experience

October 1, 2016
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied through the career fair. A couple of weeks later, I received an email about the coding challenge.

I completed the challenge, which included three problems:

  • The first problem was similar to FizzBuzz.
  • The second problem involved string manipulation.
  • The last problem focused on data structures.

After that, I didn't hear back from them, so I assumed there was no offer.
