Software Engineer Interview Experience

January 12, 2014
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The interview process consisted of three rounds.

The first round was an online test, which included 10 basic problems and 2 coding challenges.

Since I was located near the company, I was invited for an onsite interview shortly after. During this interview, I met two engineers. Each engineer presented me with a coding problem. These were classic, pure interview problems: drawing a circle and working with bitmaps. The engineers were friendly and I passed this stage.

Following that, they asked me to attend another onsite interview before an offer could be extended. The question in this interview was about synchronization, and it took me a considerable amount of time to finally figure it out.

Afterwards, the recruiter spoke with me, inquiring about my reasons for choosing the company and my overall experience with the process. Ultimately, I did not receive an offer.
