      Software Engineer Interview

      Jan 24, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Milwaukee, WI
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cognex (Milwaukee, WI) in Sep 2016

      Interview

      They called me and ask me some personal and professional questions. The interviewer was worried if I had the experience required. He didn't like it that I had only two years of c++ experience. I did not get any difficult question, most of those are when you go on site. Also they promised me to call me back later, he hanged up because he was delayed with other interviews. I wouldn't recommend
