Software Developer Interview Experience
Process
My best interview experience so far: instead of a "barely relevant Algorithms 101 sweatshop," I was given homework to do where I could show my best. We then discussed it during the interview. I really liked this format. Not only was I able to show my real coding skills, but I also got a peek into my potential colleagues' technical skills. Their questions were relevant and showed a deep understanding of the tech stack, something I'm always looking for.
Questions
Discuss homework. Expect to spend 2-4 hours on it.
