Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
The interview process began with a standard phone screen that included resume and background questions, followed by a technical phone screen.
If I had made it past this step, I believe I would have been invited to an on-site interview.
Everyone I spoke to was very polite and courteous. The interview process moved fairly rapidly, which I appreciated.
The technical interview might have gone better if my interviewer had been more familiar with the language I chose to implement my solution in. Nonetheless, it was a good experience overall.
