Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The university recruiter contacted me via LinkedIn message. After that, I applied online, and the process started right after that. The recruiter was very helpful during both my phone and onsite interviews.

Questions

Phone interview: 45 minutes phone interview through Zoom.

For the first 15 minutes, questions were related to the Comp Arch (mapping team).

Then moved to coding question.

Question was related to the general matrix operations and matrix rotation by a degree (clockwise).

I passed the phone screen interview.

Onsite interview was with 5 engineers from the mapping team, all technical coding and Comp Arch questions.

Hiring manager also asked some behavioral questions.

The last person who interviewed me was not professional in asking the questions (seems she was not in a good mood on that day and because of that I could not perform well for her question).

In general, it was a professional virtual interview!

Was this helpful?
