Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
Had a standard recruiter call; went forward to tech screen.
During tech screen, provided a working, efficient (most efficient possible) solution that passed all test cases provided by interviewer. Answered some trivial design questions about SQL schemas and scaling DB. No hesitance or doubt expressed by interviewer at all. There were also a couple of times the interviewer wasn't paying attention, in that I would keep explaining myself without any "hmm" or confirmation, so I had to repeat myself a couple of times.
Surprisingly, got a reject.
