Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied by submitting my resume at a career fair held at the university where I am studying.

Nearly a week later, I received an email requesting to schedule an on-campus interview.

The interview was 45 minutes long:

  • 15 minutes discussing my projects and skills
  • 27 minutes for a coding question on paper
  • 3 minutes for questions I wanted to ask

Questions

Favorite project (worked on a team, and was interesting to me)

Technical questions:

  1. Have a sorted array with empty places at the end; want to add an element. What should you use?
  2. Have a sorted array with empty places at the end; want to add another sorted array to it. Write the code in C++.
