Software Engineering Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
I first had an on-campus interview, then was flown out for an on-site interview.
The on-campus interview followed the same format as most of the on-site interviews.
There were straightforward technical questions for the first three to four rounds.
On the last round, the questions became very vague and almost roleplay-like, which was a bit confusing.
