Software Engineer Interview Experience - Sunnyvale, California
Process
A quick chat with the recruiter led me to initial contact with a third-party coding challenge. It was moderately difficult but not in my wheelhouse. The person leading the interview was nice and seemed well-suited for the task.
Questions
It was a coding challenge to solve a checkers problem. I'm not familiar enough with software to optimize the solution, but the in-browser IDE was helpful enough to show me compiler errors.
