Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I met with their recruiters at a career fair on campus.

A few weeks later, I received an email with an online coding test.

After that, I got a phone interview and was told there would be two of them.

I couldn't really understand the interviewer that well and had trouble understanding some of the questions.

I didn't pass the first round.

Overall, the company and recruiter were very kind, though.

Questions

He gave me some methods and wanted to explain what they did and the bugs I saw in the code.

The coding questions involved a linked HashMap, I think.

I don't quite remember, but it definitely tripped me up.
