Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I was asked to SSH into a server and code up some functions. There was no introduction or anything.
I was not even asked if I was comfortable with the Mac they provided for coding. It was a very negative experience overall.
The engineer who conducted the interview seemed inexperienced. It all depends on the interviewer.
