Software Engineer Interview Experience - Natick, Massachusetts
Process
Eight interviews were conducted over a week: three on the phone and five in person. Six were technical interviews, and two were with the recruiter.
They made a very lowball offer initially, but the hiring manager was willing to meet again and discuss it. They did increase their initial offer after the discussion, and I appreciated the hiring manager's attitude throughout the process, which gave me a good feeling about working for him.
The entire process, from the first interview to the firm offer, took two weeks, including extensive background and reference checks.
