Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied online. A few weeks later, a recruiter emailed me to set up phone interviews.

There were two back-to-back phone interviews, which included coding through a Google Doc. One interview was with a software developer, and the other was with a manager.

The decision took another few weeks before it came back.
