Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York

Process

I was initially contacted through LinkedIn by a recruiter for Target. I had several phone interviews, then was asked to solve a case study and come in for an on-site interview.

Two days before the on-site interview, I was called and told the interview would have to be moved to another date as they couldn't get a panel of interviewers together in time. Instead, an interview via Slack was conducted to go over my case study, and I was told the on-site interview could be set up the following week.

The case study interview was with an engineer who had time for me, not one from the team I was interviewing for. The interview didn't go the greatest, but I was told the case study would not be a deciding factor in my interview process, so I was hopeful to make up for it in the on-site interview.

I received no feedback from Target for two weeks until I contacted them. I was then told they were not moving forward with me.

The entire process seemed unorganized, but the people I spoke with were all nice and friendly.

Questions

Asked to perform a case study, with three options to choose from.

Basic understanding of Java and Object-Oriented Programming (how to use parent and child classes, and similar questions).
