Software Development Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I met the recruiter at my university career fair and was scheduled for an interview later that week. My interview was on-campus and was mostly comprised of technical questions.

Some of the questions were about past projects and experiences, some were coding exercises, and some were general knowledge questions.

Questions

The coding questions were fairly standard (i.e., how would you tell if two words are anagrams).

The knowledge questions were fairly internet-specific. For example, "Go into as much detail as you can about how URLs are mapped to the correct server. What does your browser send to the server, and what does the server send back?"
