Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) Interview Experience
Process
This was a 30-minute on-campus interview.
The first 20 minutes were about my project. Then, the interviewer asked me to write the permutations of a given string.
Before the interview, there was a discussion session at our school.
After the interview, I was told that my file will be stored for six months, so I cannot re-apply within that six-month period.
Questions
I tried to use a non-recursive method to generate permutations of a given string, but I forgot I only had 10 minutes to write the code.
