Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

November 1, 2015
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I got my phone interview through a campus recruiter, and a little over a week later, I went to the final round, on-site interview in San Francisco.

The phone interview was mostly screening and about experience, but it also consisted of basic Java questions, such as:

  • What is OOP and polymorphism?
  • Overloading vs. overriding
  • How to use super() in Java.

The 1:1 interview on-site was similar, but in addition, there were two one-hour team projects. They evaluated us on how we worked in teams. They want people with a good resume, and after that, the competition boils down to how well of a team player you are.

Questions

What is the JRE? And what does it have to do with .jar files?
