Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
I applied through the internal referral program.
Four steps were involved in the interview process:
- Phone call screen from the hiring manager
- 2-hour remote technical test
- Two on-site interviews (from two different teams)
Overall, all the interviewers were very nice and knowledgeable, and responses were very quick after interviews. Recruiters were also very kind and tried to help position me to other teams if the feedback was positive but the team received a better candidate.
Questions
Even for this development position, they asked a lot of QA testing questions too.
