Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Mateo, California
Process
Applied online, had a quick recruiter call, then about a week later, a technical phone call with an engineer. He asked me specific C++ questions, data structures and questions about my background.
I was then invited to go onsite for a 4 hour coding exam. The exam was very unreasonable in my opinion. I was seated in an empty room, given a laptop, and 7 pages of instructions telling me what I needed to do, and 20 files where I would make these changes.
