Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
I was contacted by an internal recruiter via LinkedIn, and we set up a call. During the call, she talked about their products and different verticals. She did a great job in getting me interested in Square.
A few days later, I had the phone screen. The engineer who conducted the phone screen was extremely nice and super helpful. Unfortunately, this was my first phone screen in my job search process, so I was very rusty and did not pass.
