Software Engineering Interview Experience - United States
Process
Positive experience.
Two technical employers interviewed me, and the process took around 40 minutes.
It's a typical technical interview: two programming questions in total, and then the employers answer questions about the company.
The interviewers were nice and explained the questions quite well. They allowed me to start with an easier question first and then improve it for the original question.
