Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - Canada

Process

I had a technical interview.

It was immediately "down to business," with initial questions being more conceptual (scenario-based, asking how I would test certain software) and later questions becoming more technical. These were live coding questions.

The main goal of the interview is to show your thought process as well as your competence in programming.
