Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

December 1, 2020
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I had a technical round with two interviewers, followed by a full day on-site.

The interviewers ranged from wonderful to rude. I believe they are trying to train new interviewers, but pairing two junior individuals together isn't ideal.

It was very apparent that they were attempting to devise tricky questions rather than engaging in a technical discussion rooted in the code I had written.

The recruiting team, however, is quite good and pleasant to work with.
