Software Engineer Interview Experience - Cambridge, Massachusetts
Process
First, I had an HR interview who asked me about my resume. Next, I had a phone interview with basic questions on Python, NoSQL, and AWS.
I was rejected, and they informed me that they needed a more experienced candidate. I don't know why they look for experience in entry-level candidates.
