Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
Don't waste your time interviewing with this company. I echo what some folks have experienced; you are never good enough for them, even if you solve a problem in the most efficient manner. They simply look at your degrees and college and go by the name.
I wonder why they even approach candidates when they know that they won't choose them and simply waste everyone's time.
Questions
Live coding question to test your OO knowledge. This question was pretty average and, in a way, disappointing for a company that claims to hire the best.
