Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
I was reached out to by the hiring manager after two months of applying. After a 30-minute call with him, I moved on to the live coding round. The questions were two LeetCode medium problems, and the last question was to mock an API call with pagination. I felt that there wasn't enough time to finish the questions.
