Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Los Angeles, California
Process
I was contacted for an on-campus technical interview after applying online.
There was no phone-screen or behavioral interview.
The interview lasted about 45 minutes, and there was only one interviewer.
The interviewer asked a couple of questions about my resume and then proceeded with technical questions. She was friendly, but a bit overbearing and seemed impatient when I took time to think.
