Software Engineer Interview Experience

Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Applied online and received a call from the recruiter. The process was very professional and quick.

The hiring manager, HR, and recruiter worked well to accommodate any time restrictions I had.

I had an initial phone screen with one of the engineers. Collabedit was used for the interview/tech phone screen. The questions asked were fairly simple:

  • Check if a String contains a number.
  • A backtracking/recursion basic CS question.
  • Some basic Java questions.

Questions

Check if a string contains a number.
