Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn and sent me a coding evaluation that took about 4 hours (building an app).
The second interview was pretty unpleasant. It consisted of a phone interview with myself and three engineers, but it really felt like they were teaming up and attempting to bully me. By bully, I mean that they would continuously cut me off and have side conversations, but I didn't feel I was in a place to ask them to stop.
Finally, I was invited to an event Cap One was hosting in NYC, which was fun, and I got to meet a lot of cool people.
