Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
Passed the phone screen, which was easy, then I was invited to an onsite interview.
When I arrived, I noticed the majority of engineers were Indian men and attractive Asian women. I wonder why?
Anyway, I did mostly okay in the interview. One Indian guy gave me a coding question. Before I started, I told him how I was going to solve it. He said, "Sure, go ahead." After I was done, he then told me it was no good since it was not efficient enough. Well then, why did he say my solution was okay in the first place?
