Software Engineer Interview Experience - Palo Alto, California
Process
First, I had an HR interview, which included very basic questions and some simple technical ones.
After that, the first round involved a coin probability problem.
Next, the second interviewer asked me a square root problem, but I unfortunately failed it.
The people were great, although the interviewers were not very friendly.
