Software Engineer - Entry Interview Experience

Process

They rejected me and called me back to interview one more time to make sure they made the right decision. They then asked me to build an asynchronous API service as an entry-level engineer in an hour, and then I got a confirmation rejection. So, pretty ridiculous.

Onsite:

  • Build a web crawler for some website called crawl.opendoor.com
  • Game of Life question with infinite and finite bounds
  • Create some game that has a list of words - it was easy
  • Create a multithreaded API service (producers, queue, consumers)

Overall, recruiters were nice. Questions were pretty ridiculous for entry-level. They expect web crawlers and multithreading knowledge to the point you can solve it in an hour. Terrible interviews, but HR was nice, if that means anything.

Questions

Coding challenge so easy - basic data structures and algorithms for k smallest, quick sort, stack parenthesis, and an easy palindrome question.

1st round interview - typical phone screen.
