      Senior Software Development Engineer Interview

      Sep 5, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Prague
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Skype (Prague) in Mar 2013

      Interview

      In total it took around 2 months from first interview to job offer. 2 interviews with HR 6 interviews with team I was supposed to be working with (which did not happen due to some management decision, so I effectively worked in another team, on different area than initially planned) 1 interview with mumbling manager, with so strong non-English accent, that it was not possible to understand half of all the questions. 1 background check

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Some coding exercises in shared notepad. How do you traverse the tree? Some management bla-bla-bla (very important one, of course)
      Answer question
