Software Engineer Interview Experience - Santa Cruz, California
Process
Phone interview, I was very confused as to what the interviewer was saying. I was called sharply on time, and was introduced by the guy who leads the mobile apps. His question to me was very confusing, and I did not know exactly what he was asking me for, but as he explained through examples, I got a good gist of what he was asking. This, however, took a lot of time, and I lost a lot of time to do my test.
