Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
I was contacted by a friendly recruiter, who stayed with me throughout the entire process.
The first interview was more of a "get to know you" conversation.
After that, I completed a one-hour coding sample in Java, where I solved two problems.
Finally, I had a technical interview with a member of the YouTube team, where I was asked to solve algorithm problems.
