Software Engineer Interview Experience - Kirkland, Washington
Process
I was given a non-technical interview via phone, and then I had a round of two technical interviews. I did not make it past the first technical interview round. My experience was very unpleasant. My first interviewer ignored pretty much everything I was saying as I worked through the problem he gave, and then at the end told me it was all completely wrong. The second interviewer, however, actually gave input as I went along, which was what I expected the experience to be like.
