Software Engineer Interview Experience - Canberra, Australia
Process
I took a quiz at a careers fair. HR got back to me a few weeks later, saying I should send in a resume.
I did so, and a couple of days later, I scheduled a phone interview with them.
The interview was mostly about programming: how to reverse the order of an array, how many passes it would take, etc. It was fairly relaxed.
They seemed to want to know about Object-Oriented Programming.
Questions
No questions were particularly difficult or hard. If you're not studying CS or a similar course, it might be a bit more difficult for you.
They tend to look for more CS-related knowledge, such as Big O Notation.
