Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
I quit the interview after the coding round during the onsite.
I never had experience with GitHub and JSON before, so the coding was a mess from the beginning:
- The Java version in my Eclipse was not compatible with the Maven project.
- I had to read the Gson documentation to understand how Gson works (the Gson interface was not intuitive to me).
After 45 minutes, I only had the code to read the JSON file into an array of objects. I decided to say bye after this round. I highly recommend getting familiar with Gson before an interview.
