Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
The interview process was quite disappointing.
It was very obvious people just read a script and copy-and-pasted coding questions. Out of five interviews, only one person asked me a single personal question that wasn't confirming they were talking to the right person.
I was told by the recruiter they were interested in my work in machine learning, but no one I talked with was even remotely working in this space. It was honestly a waste of over five hours of time.
