Software Engineer Interview Experience - Cupertino, California
Process
I was contacted for a phone interview and scheduled within the next two days. Two people conducted the phone interview and asked mostly programming exercises. No algorithm, conceptual, or problem-solving questions were asked. Questions included writing a function for given function prototypes.
Questions
The unexpected question was about reversing a singly linked list with the given prototype. But I was the one to blame, as I wasn't well prepared.

I left after being tired of hearing him scream at us, including senior engineers whom he would get angry at when he was under stress. Boss was unable to manage any kind of stress, even simple pressure coming from juniors who were always nagging.
