Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Diego, California
Process
I had three interviews. They basically asked everything on my resume.
The first one was with the manager, and we had a chat about my projects.
The second was with a testing engineer. It was like a rapid-fire round where they kept throwing keywords at me, such as Java, Perl, Module Testing, Application Testing, and Stress Testing, and I had to tell them if I was familiar with them (Yes/No).
The third interview was a bit technical. They asked some Java concepts I couldn't answer. The coding questions were simple.
Questions
Why don't we declare Strings using 'new' in Java?
