Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Dublin, Ireland
Process
Round one was a phone call with a tech recruiter. There was no problem-solving, just behavioral questions and questions testing my technical knowledge.
Round two, the final on-site, consisted of four technical interviews. The difficulty was medium, covering the usual topics.
Questions
First-round questions were along the lines of "Think of a project where you had to do X" and "Explain Y concept as if I were a 5-year-old."
Second-round questions were "Cracking the coding style" questions (maybe easier).
