Principal Software Engineer Interview Experience - Burlington, Massachusetts
Process
On-call interview followed by four on-site interviews.
Called back again for a discussion with the QA Director and Enterprise Architect. The discussion was more about the project I am currently working on. HR showed me around.
The inconvenient part is they called me over twice instead of combining the visits into a single day.
Questions
Very basic algorithms, project design, and Java syntax questions.
