Software Engineer Interview Experience - Chicago, Illinois
Process
Overall, my interview rounds were very positive. The recruiter was very nice, as were the members of the engineering team I spoke with.
The tech screen question was reasonable, although I didn't make it past that round. I didn't knock it out of the park, but I didn't bomb either.
The technical interviewing dynamic was a tad confusing at times. The interviewer was much more interactive than I'm used to and broke in so often that it felt like the tech interview version of having a backseat driver. It wasn't unpleasant; he was very nice about it, just not what I expected.
