Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
Recruiter phone call, technical phone screen, onsite.
Questions were not difficult. I am not the greatest interviewee, so the hardest part for me was interpersonal communication with one or two of the interviewers.
One interviewer came in looking like her being there was equivalent to walking into hell. She scribbled a problem on the board, then sat down and kept sighing. She made me feel nervous and rushed, so I quickly solved the problem but made a few mistakes writing the code on the whiteboard.
