Software Development Interview Experience - Chicago, Illinois
Process
I was referred to GrubHub by a friend who had interviewed the previous summer in New York. His boss connected me with a lead in the Chicago office.
I had an initial phone screen and then two rounds of technical interviews through Blue Jeans.
The first round was with a tech lead and included basic algorithm questions.
The second round consisted of two interviews. The first half was iOS-specific, and the second covered more general algorithm questions. (This round was supposed to be at GrubHub, but they accommodated me when I couldn't make it in person.)
