Software Engineer Interview Experience - Los Angeles, California
Process
Applied online at my university's job website.
Received an email for an initial telephone interview with the hiring manager. The manager told me about the position, and I told him a little about my background. He then asked a series of technical questions about C++ and Java. The questions were not difficult, but I did not make it to the in-person interview.
