Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I was contacted by a recruiter who was really friendly and helpful.

Then, I had a 45-minute interview with an engineer over the phone, and we shared a Google Doc.

I took too long to program, which might have been the issue.

I still wish they were more forthcoming with feedback.
