Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The phone screening was very simple, involving answering questions from a list. The questions were extremely basic, and they expected readily available answers.

Next, there was a Skype interview. The first part involved discussing my experience and previous jobs. This was followed by a 10-minute programming exercise. The problem to solve was quite simple, although there wasn't enough time to ensure the solution was 100% correct by stepping through and simulating it in my head.

The following day, I received an email stating they weren't interested. Perhaps they didn't like the code I wrote, or maybe there was an error I didn't notice.
