Software Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
Three-part interview. A phone call was made.
The interviewer was rude and cold, and kept interrupting me. She did not take kindly when I asked her to clarify her questions.
Overall, a bad experience with weird questions. It was meant to be a behavioral interview but turned into a cat-and-mouse interview.
Questions
Asked me to explain recursion to a 5-year-old.
