Qualtrics Software Engineer interview questions

I had a phone interview a couple months after I applied. The developer interviewing me seemed to be busy doing something else during the interview. He asked about previous projects, motivations for software development, and basic computer science questions such as big O and comparisons of different data structures. After the phone interview I had an on-site interview where there were three in person interviews. They really pitched the start-up nature of the company. This seemed to include working long hours as one of the developers who interviewed me mentioned he works 8am-6pm with some late nights. The HR folks and developers ended up giving off a feel similar that of companies parodied on the show Silicon Valley, i.e. "we're changing the world with our cat pictures app", "disruptive technology", etc. While I didn't particularly care for their culture it was obvious they had very smart people working there.

Applied online. Then I got three rounds of technical phone/skype interviews, the last one being Skype. All the people I met, including recruiters, interviewers, coordinators, were very nice. Their response was the quickest I've ever seen. I always got an email with next steps only two hours after an interview. The final offer decision was a bit slow and took two weeks for the Seattle office. Apparently they did not sponsor H1B for undergrad students from outside the US, but (I think) they do so for Masters and PhD. Or you will be fine if you already have an H1B visa, in which case I think they are willing to transfer it. My offer was voided because I had the "wrong" visa status, being an international undergrad without an H1B visa. In the end, it was a huge waste of time and energy (and hope). I feel it is not proper to set a bar based on the degree level, but that's how the company's policy is right now. I'm pretty sure many times international students who attend university in the US outperform master's students. Next time, I would definitely go for larger companies to avoid this issue.
