Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
Applied to the job on their website and got an email asking me to schedule an interview two days later. Received the oral and email offer two weeks after the interview.
The team is mostly Chinese, and they prefer Chinese candidates as well.
There were three rounds of technical interviews targeted in RDBMS and OOP. They were rather easy if you have hands-on working experience.
Company's primary skillsets are C# and .NET. Team members are nice, but the atmosphere is dull.
Questions
1st round RDBMS
Please outline the database structure for a sales company, containing user, company, vendor, etc.
2nd round OOP
Please design distributed systems and class objects for a storage company.
