Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

Contacted in November after applying in September. The first rounds, including the phone screen, were childishly easy to pass.

The onsite process was extremely inhuman and impersonal.

Onsites consisted of engineers walking into a room, asking a technical question, me answering it, and them walking out for the next person to come in with little personal interaction. It was almost a parody of most technical interview processes. The questions were of average difficulty.
