Software Development Interview Experience

Process

I attended a recruitment event at my school and then applied online. I was contacted about a week later for a phone interview. The phone interview involved coding on an online platform.

A few days after that, I was contacted to arrange an in-person interview. They paid for my travel to their New York office for the interviews. The HR person was very helpful and well-organized.

I had four in-person interviews, all on the same day, with two interviewers each. Each interview presented one programming problem, which I solved on a whiteboard. There was also the option to solve them on a computer.

The interviewers tended to observe quietly and didn't offer many hints, preferring that I work through challenges independently when I got stuck. They were all very intelligent. I actually found the process quite fun, as the questions were interesting.

They made me an offer a few days later.

Questions

They asked that I not share the specifics of the questions.

Expect one or two to focus on functional programming.
