Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

A manager reached out to me on LinkedIn.

I had a 30-minute chat with the manager, followed by a technical phone screen on an online coding site.

The interview process and scheduling were quite fast, and the recruiters were very responsive.

I thought the manager seemed rather inexperienced and was trying to build a new team.

The phone screen seemed easy, and I felt I wrote well-abstracted code and communicated well.

I received the decision that they did not want to move forward after the phone screen, one week after the interview.

I'm assuming they found a more senior candidate they wanted to hire because I thought the interview went well.

Questions

Design a class that represents a Valuable which has a name and volume.

Design a Safe Deposit Box that holds a list of valuables and implement add and remove methods.

Each Box has a size (small, medium, large), so take the volume into consideration when adding or removing.

Question was 3 parts. There may have been follow-up parts that I didn't get to.
