Software Development Interview Experience - Austin, Texas
Process
A recruiter reached out to me after coming across my resume. I had an interview on campus, and it was entirely technical. The interviewer asked me to solve a question based on recursion on a whiteboard. He was helpful in guiding me in the right direction.
The interviewer had a very thick Oriental accent, and communication was definitely an issue. I had to ask him to repeat himself on multiple occasions.
