Software Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
Flown out to Seattle.
I was interviewed by four different people from four different teams.
First, I was asked questions about my resume, and then I was given a coding question.
The interviewers were very encouraging and helped me solve the question.
In between rounds, other candidates could chill in a room with plenty of drinks for 10 minutes to recharge until their next interview.
