Software Engineer Interview Experience

April 6, 2016
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Applied through a career fair.

The first screening involved debugging some C code.

Subsequently, I was contacted for a phone interview.

During the phone interview, I was asked about coding in C#, a language I have never used and which was not listed on my resume.

The interviewer also asked questions such as "pointer to pointer to object," which were difficult to understand or explain over the phone.

Questions

I was given some code and asked what the output would be.
