Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I submitted my application online and was invited for the first-round telephone interview after about a week.
The phone interview was entirely behavioral, and I believe it went alright. I am currently waiting for the results, which should take about a week.
The next round is expected to involve an in-person technical interview. Since I am still waiting for the results, I have indicated that I did not get an offer.
