Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
There was a bit of confusion in the beginning because I received an automated rejection shortly after speaking with the recruiter, but that turned out to be a mistake.
Other than that, the process was pretty streamlined, with a nice interview portal. However, there was a lot of time between interviews.
The interview questions were pretty standard.
