Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Santa Clara, California
Process
1 phone screening and 1 onsite.
The phone screen question was relatively easy – an n-ary tree. The manager was kind enough to guide me.
The onsite interview was not that hard either. Perhaps because on the same day I had received an offer from another company, I felt relaxed.
The questions were not difficult. It consisted of several rounds.
One round, I was asked about some acronyms and their meanings – KISS, YAGNI, etc.
Regarding the technical questions, I don't remember any.
