Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States

Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
The phone screen is a very complex question. The interviewer can barely explain it. Coding it out is pretty easy, but understanding the question is hard, especially when the interviewer doesn't explain it well. Be familiar with all concepts ahead of time.
Rejected after this.
