- conorh 6y agoWhat was your experience though when interviewing?
- bonobo886 6y agoOverall it went really well. I'd say 50% - 60% of my interviews followed the standard whiteboard style questions combined with some type of take home exam. I interviewed with over 50 companies, reached onsites at about 30, rejected 10 myself, and was rejected by 10. I ended up with about 18 offers. I'd say the curriculum and program helped, but ultimately so much of interviewing goes into how the interviewer is feeling at the moment. You can write the best, most well tested code or most optimal solution for an algorithm question, but if the interviewer just doesn't like you, you're hosed. Overall I'm happy with the outcome of this process, and would probably engage in something similar if going through the interview process again.
