Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
The interview process was pretty dismal.
The recruiter referred to me as "the Android guy." This shows how developers must be treated: cannon fodder.
It's the same old, stupid CS questions, likely to satisfy the ego of some developer who can't write good code himself.
Fix your process because your product is nice.
