Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Canada
Process
Submitted the resume at the job fair. One week later, I received an email for an on-campus interview.
The 30-minute interview was divided into two parts. The first part consisted of questions about my previous experience. The second part had three questions:
(1) Compare two integers, a and b, without using +, -, *, /, or if statements. (2) What is a deep copy, and what is a shallow copy? (3) How would you test an ATM machine?
Result: Secured an on-site interview.
Questions
