Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
I had a virtual onsite interview with multiple rounds.
I was asked to leave the meeting immediately because they made a mistake and invited me by accident; the interview was for another person.
This was a very bad experience, as I spent quite a lot of time preparing for this interview, only for me to leave within the first five minutes of the meeting.
