Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
I went to the career fair, and then I was contacted for a campus interview. This interview was pretty chill, and the questions were easy.
They then flew me over to Seattle, where I had five in-person interviews.
I thought I did well but was ultimately rejected.
The first three interviews were technically heavy, while the next two consisted of behavioral and design questions.
I learned a lot, even though I did not get an offer.
