Axosoft Software Engineer interviews, decoded.

I first met the team at a university career fair and had a good chat with them. Later that week, they reached out for a phone interview. I talked about my projects and classes and did a simple coding question. The next day, they invited me for an in-person interview. It was similar to the phone interview, but when it came to whiteboard coding, I got really nervous because it was my first time and I struggled with a question I should have known. I eventually figured it out, but they told me I need to be more comfortable with object-oriented programming. They were really nice throughout the process. My only advice is to practice whiteboard coding.

I got an email to schedule a Zoom interview, mostly to go over my resume. There was supposed to be a technical part, but the engineer had to leave early. Then, I got another email to set up a technical interview, which ended up being in person at Axosoft. This technical interview involved 3 whiteboard problems: 2 coding and 1 brain teaser. I had to explain my solutions and answer follow-up questions, which took about 1 hour and 15 minutes. After, they told me they were looking for someone better at algorithms and faster. The whole thing from start to finish took about 10 days.

I talked to a recruiter at my school's career fair on a Wednesday. On the next Monday, they emailed me about setting up a Skype interview, and they had openings as soon as Tuesday. The Skype interview was a bit over half an hour. First, the interviewer asked about my resume and wanted me to talk more about my projects and what I've done. Then, we went straight into coding problems. The interviewer was nice and seemed to think I had a good shot at moving on. But, I got an email saying I didn't get the job the very next morning.
