Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Canada
Process
Through the University of Waterloo recruitment (Jobmine), they e-mailed me for a first-round interview. It was nothing too out of the blue.
The interview covered:
- Basic behavioral questions.
- One technical/coding question.
- One discussion question about technology and how it can be improved.
Be sure to ask them questions that make them think as well.
Questions
One programming question (moderate, but easy for a CS person) and a question about a favorite piece of technology and how to improve it.
