Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
My opinion is obviously limited to the one experience I have had. My first contact was with the recruiter. The recruiter was very friendly and gave me a good overview of what the team did and what the job role was. He sent me the detailed job description, which helped me prepare for the interview.
It was followed by a 30-minute phone interview. An onsite interview soon followed, which was fully technical: "C" coding questions, OS and networking questions, and some design questions. All were of above-average difficulty.
