Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
I spoke with a recruiter, and a phone screen was scheduled.
The recruiter provided a link to sample phone screen questions. The questions there were good practice for the type of questions to expect (except for one).
The phone screen was with an international interviewer. After some initial conversation, we moved to Coderpad to work on the problem.
I was unable to fully code the solution in time, although I was almost there. Java is not a good language for timed solutions due to its verbosity.
Afterwards, I quickly received a rejection email from the recruiter.
