Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I went through one interview on campus.

It was very straightforward: one question, and I chatted with the engineer afterward.

After the interview, they sent me a take-home assignment for a front-end web programming task.

HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are nowhere on my resume. I made my best effort, but, not surprisingly, it didn't go well.

I wish they had done a better resume screen instead of wasting two hours of my time.
