Software Engineer New Grad Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
Overall, I had a positive interview experience!
I applied online. The entire interview process took around 3 weeks from when the recruiter first made contact with me. Everyone was very friendly, and feedback was given very promptly, so I knew where I stood every step of the way.
The process and questions were fairly standard for new grad software roles:
- Recruiter phone screen
