Software Development Interview Experience

Process

I interviewed in Fargo. The interview consisted of 4 rounds, which were comparatively easy. I think I answered most of them correctly.

There were about 20 of us who were called for interview during that day. Overall, it was a very positive experience. Though I was not selected, I think it was because of the tough competition, as everyone other than me also had good interviews.

Questions

Round 4: Design a game of Chess and tell how you would implement the classes.

Round 3: There was a piece of paper on which some code was written. I was told to correct the mistakes in that code. It was fairly easy.

Round 2: Design a cashier for a company like Walmart. What if a person wants to return something they bought earlier? How should the cash machine handle that?

Round 1: Basic Linked List questions.
