Software Engineer Interview Experience - Nairobi, Kenya

Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The first stage was a 30-minute video call. The aim was to find out if I was a good fit.

The next stage was a technical interview. Pretty standard: select a language you are comfortable with. It is meant to last 1 hour, but you can finish in less than 30 minutes depending on how good you are.

After that, I got to the technical deep dive. This is where the journey came to an end for me. You select a project you have worked on before and break it down, highlighting your role and experience. The feedback I got is I didn't do a thorough deep dive into the project I selected.

Questions

You are given a list of sorted words, as they would appear in a dictionary, but the language is alien to you. Using the words, create a list that shows the order of occurrence of letters in that language's alphabet sequence.
