Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Saint Louis, Missouri
Process
The recruitment week was very short, and many students were applying.
Two men were in charge of the software development interviews. Neither smiled nor spoke English well.
It was one of the worst interviews I've ever experienced. When I tried answering a question and thought out loud (which I was taught to do), one interviewer remained silent and did not help me along.
