Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
Got an interview after speaking to a representative at a 2-day long networking event. Scheduled an interview for the next day. The interview consisted of both a technical and behavioral portion. The behavioral was very relaxed and not intense at all, just basically a chat with the interviewer about the department and basically you just act like it's your dream to work there. Technical was just some whiteboarding.
