Software Engineer Interview Experience - Jersey City, New Jersey
Process
I had a one-on-one interview that lasted 30 minutes.
I was then placed on "hold" for about a month and was finally told to come into their NY/NJ offices for a "super day." During the super day, I interviewed five separate times with two different teams.
Each team had a unique style of asking questions. Some interviews involved coding on paper, while others were more fit-oriented.
