Software Engineer Interview Experience - Sunnyvale, California
Process
The interviewer seemed out of date, and it showed during the interview.
He was not familiar with Collabedit and had trouble setting it up. He even accidentally rebooted his computer during the interview.
For 10 minutes, I had to explain code that he could not see.
Also, the interview sounded like he picked a random question and did not really think about a solution. He kept changing the requirements throughout the interview.
