Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I had a one-hour phone interview with HR. They asked me questions to ensure my experience matched my resume and also to verify I wouldn't embarrass them in the longer interviews.

I passed the HR interview, and they then scheduled an on-site interview.

My interviews began at 11 a.m. The first interview was with someone else from HR. She explained the process and asked a few more questions to confirm I was worth sending on to the first group.

Questions
