Software Engineer Interview Experience - Boxborough, Massachusetts
Process
The on-campus interview was entirely behavioral, with hardly any technical questions. It felt almost too easy to be true.
The on-site interviews, three in total, were hardly different. The interviewers seemed more interested in selling the company and the location to me instead of asking technical questions. There were a couple of brain teasers, but nothing beyond that.
