Software Engineer Interview Experience - Irvine, California
Process
I submitted my resume through a resume book for a larger conference and then I got an email from a recruiter saying they were interested in having me for an interview.
There was a pre-interview dinner where we got to talk to our interviewers. Then the next day was the actual interview.
I didn't get an offer, but it was an interesting process and my first technical interview, so I didn't mind.
