Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
I applied online through the company website. The interview process took two weeks, across a total of three rounds. The interview process was very smooth overall, but I will say that the technical portion was challenging compared to other interviews I've done. My recruiter was very timely in their response, and I always heard back within a day or two. I found the experience to be more enjoyable compared to other tech interviews I was doing at the time.
