Software Developer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I went through a recruiter, but the interview process was quickly taken over by Tower's own HR staff, which handled the process professionally and responsively.
First 3-hr onsite test, then two technical phone interviews, finally on site. People are nice, smart, and knowledgeable. Questions seem to be given based on the level of experience (as stated in the resume). They went pretty deep on languages and skills. Big emphasis on code and algo efficiency.
Questions
Many data structure, algo and c++ questions. The on-site includes writing code, compile and test on Linux.
