      Software Developer Interview

      Feb 11, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Portland, OR
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Columbia Sportswear (Portland, OR) in May 2012

      Interview

      The interview process was pretty straightforward. The first phone screen included questions about Java, more related to structure(arrays, hast tables etc). Was not asked to code or pseudo code anything. This was for a an entry level role. In the in person the same technical questions were asked for the first half. The second half was used to understand more of your personality and work ethic.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Describe an interface and when you would use it.
