Software Developer Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
A mix of questions regarding technical background and experiences, and behavioral questions.
It seemed to me that instead of hard technical questions during the interview, they had a rigorous testing program to weed out people.
Testing involved mathematical and problem-solving, and having to answer questions very quickly.
Questions
Tell us about a project you worked on with others where you used test-driven development. What tools did you use to work with others (Slack, version control systems, etc.) and how did you divide the work between the group?
