      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      May 18, 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Richmond, BC
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at McKesson (Richmond, BC)

      Interview

      Director came down to the lobby and walk me to the interview room. Well, two managers were actually using his room to do the interview. The managers appeared to be freshly promoted and acting quite fidgeting during the whole process. By the nature of the interview questions, it appeared they have very limited interviewing experience and the interview questions were geared toward fresh graduates. 5 minutes into the interview, I already know that I over qualified for the position and looking for ways to bail. No GO. Ended up enduring the whole "Are you smarter than the 5th grader?" kind of CS questions.

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 1

      What are the difference between an array and linkedlist? (Seriously, for a Senior Software Engineer role...)
      Answer question

      Question 2

      What are the difference between abstract class and interface? (Maybe the managers have never work with Java before and think this is a meaningful question for this type of roles)
      Answer question

      Question 3

      Example of polymorphism (I am not kidding you)
      Answer question
