Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The interview process consisted of two phone screens followed by four onsite interviews.

Among my four interviewers, one was extremely anti-social and difficult to communicate with. My other three interviews went very well.

When I don't do well on an algorithms question, I am happy to admit it. In this case, however, my interactions with this one engineer were so negative that it made me question whether I would like to join a company where there was a risk of working with someone like that.
