Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How I made apps on my resume in very details. The true functions of apps and tech used for the apps. They were trying to find out if I actually made them. It was pretty easy.
Good chill interview nothing crazy but yeah just ask some questions related to software engineering and that’s all it was imo. No
Big deal at all. At least 30
Words tho
Was good, detailed and laid out process. Communication was good and feedback on timely manner. Could have used more detail in job details. Professional panel during my visit. They did take a while to respond back and the process to completion was rather time consuming.
