Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied through my college website.

I was then contacted by a recruiter to schedule a phone interview.

It seemed like a nice company that's still small but is building a web app for a large audience.

Questions

The phone interview was a little strange. I was asked coding questions just by phone. The interviewer wanted me to only walk through how to solve the problem. I was first asked how to merge two sorted arrays where one array was twice the size of the second array. The next question he asked me to perform a merge sort that didn't use recursion. This was pretty difficult since I had to abstractly explain what I would do.

My advice is to have a piece of paper in front of you so that you can jot down what you're thinking. It would help to visualize the problem then.
