Job Interview Reflection - Cognizant QuickLeft Boulder
For my reflection I'm writing about my interview at Cognizant Quickleft in Boulder. This interview was comprised of two parts, a culture fit interview and a technical interview. In the culture fit interview I was asked questions like what technologies am I currently excited about, what am I currently using, what is my story, and what do I do to stay on top of up and coming technologies in the industry. This part was really informal and not stressful at all but I found that being enthusiastic and showing my eagerness to learn and grow drove the conversation. The next part, the technical interview, was structured around reviewing the code from an application that they had me write prior to the interview. In the intervew I was asked to walk the interviewer through my code and explain my thought process. I was also asked technical questions about the code and what could be done to refactor or make things more performant. Once again showing an eagerness to learn seemed to help and talking with the developer I was pairing with helped drive things.
