Software Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
The process includes screening, followed by a technical phone interview. If the interviewer believes your phone interview did not meet expectations, they will schedule a second phone interview. You also have the option to interview onsite if desired.
For my first interview, I conducted it over the phone. However, the interviewer's connection kept breaking up, which caused me to lose valuable time.
My second interview was in person, but it did not conclude with a defined next step.
