Process
I only know of the first technical interview, which is done over the phone.
During this interview, someone from HR, with no technical background, asks an assortment of software engineering questions. These include queries such as:
- How many bits are in a byte?
- What is the largest integer in Java?
- What is the command to delete a table in MySQL?
The interviewer will not clarify anything. Questions tend to be about specific values famous in computer science, commands from languages, runtimes, and names of algorithms.
Questions
