Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
The interview consisted of mostly general Java programming questions, such as inheritance and polymorphism.
Additionally, I was given the opportunity to choose between web development and C++ for the second part of the interview.
For the web development section, I was asked basic questions on Javascript and HTML.
Lastly, I was given logic problems on tautologies.
Overall the interview was very laid back and my interviewer was friendly.
Questions
Program a class that extends another class and overrides its methods. Say the expected output of running each method based on what was overridden.
