Autowini first-round interview

First, many thanks to Autowini for giving me the chance to interview.

Next, I'll briefly write down how today's interview went.

Today's interview was in person at 2 o'clock, and I think I got to the company 20 minutes early.

The interview started at 2, and three interviewers came in. I think the atmosphere was really good from the very first greeting.

After that, we did live coding, which hadn't been mentioned beforehand.

The first problem was live coding: get values through an API call and print them in the right format, with exception handling.

The second problem was to look at a given piece of code, find what was wrong with it, and fix it.

The difficulty didn't seem much different from the NHN interview (NHN is a Korean IT company).

After that, I think they asked about things like a short self-introduction, what was hard while developing, how I develop, when I can develop efficiently, and my hobbies.

I answered every question sincerely. To stress it once more, the three interviewers were so kind that it went as comfortably as if it weren't an interview, and I think that helped me answer well.

Then they asked if I had any questions about the company, so I asked two.

For the first, I had seen many foreigners while waiting for the interview, so I asked whether they work on development together. They told me the development team is made up entirely of Koreans.

For the second, I asked about the company's direction. They said the company started by exporting used cars overseas, but is now gradually widening its scope.

Today's interview taught me a lot about how to carry myself in a conversation, and I'm very grateful to the interviewers for making the interview so comfortable.

The second interview is coming up this Friday. For that one, I think I should prepare to introduce myself as a person rather than as a developer.
