Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
The first call was with a recruiter, and the second was a technical phone screen. I was rusty with string parsing and interviews, so unfortunately, I didn't make it past this round.
The interviewer was kind and helped debug when needed. I was rejected after the first technical screen, though.
