Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
The interview process involved a first-round phone call followed by a full-day onsite interview.
Everyone I spoke to was very friendly and seemed like people I would enjoy working with.
The questions were not tricky. They focused more on determining if I was a good engineer rather than if I remembered some obscure dynamic programming algorithm. This was also one of the interviews where the questions were genuinely interesting. I really enjoyed the interviews; the problems were definitely fun to think about.
