The College Board Software Engineer interview experience

Got offer

Calixa-Lavallée, QCPosted Feb 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My process was pretty light and felt mostly centered on an HR-style conversation, with standard questions that didn’t try to trip me up.

I remember having to share my background, talk about education and hobbies, and explain what interested me about the role. They also asked about salary expectations and my joining time.

I went in with some nerves, and that showed in how I answered. The interview itself was still friendly, but I messed up because I wasn’t fully confident in the moment. Even so, the overall experience was valuable to me because it helped me practice interview flow and build comfort with the typical set of questions.

I didn’t receive an offer, but I felt the whole thing was good practice and not something
