Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I got the first interview through a career fair at school. It was an on-campus interview just two days later.

At the career fair, after I talked to the recruiter, they asked me to make an appointment with another staff member.

After I interviewed, I was rejected two days later. Everything went really quickly. The recruiter said that if I passed the interview, I would have another phone interview the following week.

Questions

They first asked some questions about my resume and if I had written some projects in Java. Then, they asked me to write code on the whiteboard. The coding problems involved reversing a string and finding duplicate strings in a list, using different methods.
