Software Engineer Interview Experience - Irvine, California
Process
This was a typical whiteboard coding interview, consisting of a few different interviews and one panel interview.
One interviewer seemed like he was trying too hard.
Overall, nothing captivated my interest.
At one point, the hiring manager started checking his phone, responding to an email, and performing other tasks. He did not devote his full attention and was obviously not interested.
