Software Engineer Interview Experience - Stockholm, Sweden
Process
Applied online and received a call after one month. The phone call served as a brief interview, covering background and motivation.
Two weeks after the call, I attended side interviews, with two conducted on the same day.
These included:
- One cultural interview
- One technical interview
These interviews lasted almost two hours in total.
Questions
The cultural interview was based mostly on motivation and background.
In the technical interview, one string algorithm was asked on a whiteboard, followed by many small questions related to everything in Computer Science.
Both interviews were chill, more like a discussion.
