Software Engineer Interview Experience - Cupertino, California
Process
Teams of two to three people interviewed me in waves. Technical questions were asked; no brain teaser-type questions. Opinions were solicited on various technologies.
No one seemed very prepared for the interview. It appeared most were bugged to have to do it and just wanted it to be over. Having to work on short deadlines and long hours was a recurring theme.
Questions
Can you work long hours on a short deadline?
