Software Engineering Interview Interview Experience - Palo Alto, California
Process
I received an email with a coding challenge, and then I received a personality test.
The personality test consisted of rating yourself on different skills, as well as articulating how many lines of code I'd written before and how familiar I was with certain processes.
The coding challenge wasn't difficult at all; I just wasn't adequately prepared to answer the questions with better run times.
