Software Engineer Interview Experience - Portland, Oregon
Process
Fairly normal process overall.
Meeting with members of the team, meeting with management, doing technical challenges, and a session dedicated for me to just ask questions.
The technical challenges were interesting and a little off the beaten path, at least for me, but I enjoyed doing them, which is a fairly rare sentiment I have when interviewing.
Questions
Technical Challenges:
- Design a simple RESTful API using a language I was familiar with.
- Design a simple RESTful API (identical to 1) using a language I had no experience with.
- Review an existing repository of code, describing what the application is doing and any important information about how it is set up.
Q: Describe one time where you failed. What did you learn? What could you have done better?
Q: Why are you joining / interested in New Relic?
