Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
There was a phone screen that was about an hour long, with the time split between behavioral and a technical question. Then there was a full day of 5 onsite interviews(4 Technical + Lunch). Each interview was an hour with half the time for behavioral questions, and the other half for a technical question.
The people were really great, they seemed really interested in getting to know me, and throughout all the technical questions, I felt like I was assumed to be competent, which was very refreshing.
The questions themselves were fairly straightforward especially compared to some nightmare questions I've gotten at Google and Bloomberg.

HR is not on the side of the employees at all. They are pandering to employees by asking for "feedback" on company decisions with no intention of incorporating that feedback into current or future decisions.
