Software Engineer Interview Experience - Phoenix, Arizona
Process
I can't disclose the questions since I signed a contract. They will focus on your communication skills and confidence in your answers more than the technical aspect. Prepare to be questioned about anything you answer. If you say this algorithm is better, you need to support the reason with a lot of confidence. Don't hesitate and don't use phrases like "I think" or "perhaps."
It took them three weeks just to reply to the online application and another two weeks to schedule the phone interview.
Questions
The questions were not difficult. I was hesitant and could not communicate clearly about an architecture concept.
