Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
One phone screen, then an in-person interview with four more people. Afterward, they took me to lunch. It was a pretty good experience overall. Mostly algorithm questions, as expected. Each interviewer essentially asked the same questions: "Tell me about yourself," solve two or three algorithm problems, etc. It was nice that they flew me in and provided one night of accommodation before the interview.
Questions
Algorithm questions, fairly basic ones.
