Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
Underwhelming and not challenging, but there are things you just have to be ready for. What I couldn't put together, and probably made me look incompetent, was knowing to say "API" instead of "server" or "network" when asked how services talk to each other. So, it's just little things like that, like in most interviews, that you just have to be ready for and know.
Questions
