Software Engineer Interview Experience - Menlo Park, California
Process
They found me at SO Careers for some reason.
First, we had an HR interview with nothing really particular. Then, another Skype/phone interview followed with real-time coding.
The interviewer was okay and friendly, answering all my questions. It was the usual American-style interview with absolutely meaningless basic CS questions.
