Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Cambridge, Massachusetts
Process
The recruiter called me up within 24 hours. He interviewed me technically again for about 45 minutes on core Java.
I was asked to come onsite, and I had 4 rounds of interviews. I was then asked to come onsite on a different date, and that was just 2 rounds.
Questions weren't that difficult. The major portion was on Java/J2EE and design concepts.
