Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
I was asked to spend a few hours writing a basic app that consumed a particular API and displayed data in a list. I was then brought onsite.
There, I was asked a couple of very basic system design questions. They said we would talk about the take-home while onsite and maybe expand on it. That never happened.
There was also supposed to be a more technical coding question. The individual who was supposed to conduct it was out sick. Everyone I spoke to was very junior.
Questions
Design an A/B testing framework.
