Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

January 1, 2016
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I had two on-site interviews, probably because they knew I am local.

The first interview was rather brief and informal, basically the same as a technical phone screen, but in person.

The second was a full-day onsite with five engineers. I also had lunch with some non-technical people with whom I would potentially be working on the same team.

Questions

Because I was applying for a full-stack web dev role, two of my interviewers were back-end engineers. They asked a lot of SQL questions.

Was this helpful?
