Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I got this interview through a recruiter via LinkedIn.

It was a one-hour phone interview. They asked about my work in the first 10 minutes.

The interviewers were nice, punctual, and described their roles in the company. They didn't talk much during the interview.

The recruiter replied by email after two days.

After writing the code, they asked me about test cases.

Questions

They asked to write a function that takes a string and checks if it is a number.

The second question was: Given a sorted array that has been rotated, find a number in that array.

Example: {6, 7, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
