Software Engineer-I Interview Experience - Boston, Massachusetts
Process
It had four parts: behavioral, OOD (whiteboard), database & SQL (whiteboard), and coding (on their computer).
I was asked to talk about my past projects and challenges during those projects. For the database portion, it started with schema design, then I wrote queries in SQL. The coding question involved breaking a big question into several steps, allowing me to finish them one by one, from the easiest to a harder one. I did not have time to finish the last one.
All the interviewers as well as the recruiters were very nice and patient. They explained and clarified the interview questions to me.
