Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

Applied through the website.

This was my first job out of college.

The interview process included:

  • One phone interview, followed by a full-day interview.
  • The interview format began with a presentation of a prior project I had worked on in front of the group of engineers I would be interviewing with.
  • This was followed by three to four interviews, each asking a technical question as well as questions about the presentation.

Questions

One interviewer looked into an open source project code sample I provided. I'd written the code very early in my career, so it was not very clean. It may have backfired to provide that code sample, even though the project was successful.

Was this helpful?
