Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
I had one technical interview remotely. The interviewer was rude. He spun in his chair while "interviewing" me on video chat. The question wasn’t hard; I just thought the interviewer was rude. He didn’t introduce himself and said we could save that for last so we could start the technical assessment. He raised his voice at me when I sought clarification on the question.
