Software Developer Interview Experience - Atlanta, Georgia
Process
I had two phone/Skype interviews for the position.
The first was basically a screen to see if I was a real person, with lots of softball questions.
The second interview came a week or so later. It was a very technical interview conducted by a software engineer. I was totally unprepared to code on the spot and floundered, but he was helpful enough.
If you're preparing for that interview, brush up on your coding and don't be nervous to code right in front of someone (he watched everything I typed on a shared Google Doc!).

If you are just starting your career, there is tons of mentorship with lots of room to make and correct mistakes.Cons: I am BiPOC and saw a lot of people get passed over for advancement and forced out early. If you are an SDE I trying for an SDE II, then I would say it is fine, but after that, I would try to find employment elsewhere. HQ is not the place for your career to grow.
