Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Diego, California
Process
I had one telephone interview which went well. I was asked a few questions based off of my resume and the projects I have worked on. Then there were a few questions on C++ OO concepts and a programming question to find if a given number is a perfect square or not and return the square root in case it is. I was called for an onsite interview in a week's time after that. The interview process was pleasant. All the interviewers were professional. I had interviews with six people and two of them went great, three of them were okay and one was atrocious.
