Junior Software Developer Interview Experience - Calgary, Canada
Process
-
Phone screen by HR (questions found in other interview reviews).
-
90-minute technical interview with two leads.
The technical interview was conducted on Zoom, as this was during the pandemic. The technical question focused on object-oriented programming, and the interviewers were looking for you to discuss your design process for the given problem. This was followed by 30 minutes of behavioral questions and time for you to ask questions at the end.
I did not receive an offer, but they did call to provide feedback, which was very helpful. They suggested a few books, the best one being "Head First Object-Oriented Design & Analysis." They mentioned that they recommend brushing up on OOP and reapplying in a year or two.
