Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Chicago, Illinois
Process
The interviewer had a difficult time clarifying the problem statement. She did not even want to give test cases. She stated, "This is our problem, and we want a specific output." She spent too much time talking about the company at the very beginning, which took time away from coding. It was a very bad interview setup.
