      Software Engineer I (SW-Eng I) Interview

      8 Apr 2017
      Anonymous employee
      San Diego, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at BAE Systems USA (San Diego, CA) in Mar 2017

      Interview

      1. Show up with Passport and ID, give to security 2. Four people were interviewing for the job with myself 3. Hiring Manager & another engineer take you to a conference room and you get a presentation on company for about 15 minutes. Going over (Benefits, 9/80 schedule, ES University they offer, the ELDP program) 4. Then 3 45 minute interviews in separate rooms (everyone interviews individually) You interview with either 1-2 people from different departments. 5. Then you have lunch after the 3rd interview with 2 ELDP engineers at the company for about 30 minutes in the cafeteria (they pay for lunch), this is super cool part where it doesn't count towards interview, just young engineers who you can ask and talk about the company regarding anything! Really chill interview, don't stress and take what everyone else said on Glassdoor and you should be prepared. Take unofficial/official transcript as well the hiring manager collected that as well!

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      There were 3 45 minute interviews (1-2 people per interview from different departments) 1. Why BAE? What do you like about BAE? 2. Everything about RESUME & yourself. (Jobs at schools, previous intern, your courses, and what you liked and disliked). What have you done in a group or have you had any group projects and what did you do? Any problems and how did you solve? If programming languages listed, where did you use this, etc. Frameworks, "I see you have used Microsoft Visual Studio, are you familiar with debugging through it?" I see you used linux tell me about what type you used? Do you know commands in it or getting your way through it? Have you heard about commands grep or find? How do you usually debug program? Be yourself, this interview is not to trick you and rattle you through technical stuff. They understand that you have gone through these courses and that you have the ability to code or understand how to pick up new technologies and languages fast. They are trying to see if you fit the culture and if you can be a great team player! If you want, just be prepared with "technical questions" that other people posted on glassdoor if you really are scared. Like: 1) What is OOP? 2) What is polymorphism? 3) What is inheritance? 4) What are the 4 pillars of OOP? (Abstraction, Encapsulation, Polymorphism, Inheritance) One great thing about BAE as well is they get back to you whether you get accepted or rejected very fast! (3 days to 1 week)!
