Software Engineer Interview Experience - Melbourne, Australia
Process
Applied online and received a response from HR about a day later, scheduling a technical interview.
HR was very responsive and friendly.
The interviewer was also friendly, and the interview was relaxed and surprisingly fun.
Unfortunately, I didn't make it through to the final on-site round, which would have involved them flying me to Hong Kong.
Great experience overall. I can recommend it.
Questions
I started with coding a simple data structure, then was asked to add more and more complex functionality to it.
I was asked not to elaborate too much on the question.
