Software Engineer Interview Experience - Budapest, Hungary
Process
It was a conversion interview from intern to full time.
It was very easy, provided you read through some Stack Overflow questions about the language (Java and SQL in my case, but mainly Java).
Questions
Exception types in Java with examples.
Value and reference: differences, passing parameters, etc.
SQL statements and what they do, and write a simple SQL query.
OOP principles.
A coding exercise on paper. This varies; interviewers often come up with their own problems. Best preparation is HackerRank tests.
