SWE New Grad Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
I applied through college or university. The process took four weeks.
Online application: I received an OA, which was an OOD live coding with two functions. After passing it, I received a PhoneScreen. I received the rough description before the interview, and there were three parts. Later it was going to be a five-round loop, but I haven't finished it yet.
