Software Engineer Summer Interview Experience - Madison, Wisconsin

October 1, 2016
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied through the campus career fair in Madison, WI. The recruiter was impressed with me, which might be why they called me for an interview. I received the interview offer after two days, and the interview was scheduled two weeks after the fair.

I interviewed on campus with their senior software engineer/manager. He was somewhat vague in his responses. First, he pointed out that my GPA was a bit lower than the others. He then told me about his role at the company. Afterward, we proceeded to the questions.

Two weeks after the interview, I received an email stating that I did not get the position.

Questions

He drew a matrix on the board and asked me to identify the pattern and then write code to print it.

He asked a brainteaser question: Two guys are in a tunnel, and both start running in opposite directions upon seeing a train approaching. The task was to find the speed of the train. This was similar to other interview questions.
