Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
I really liked the interview process that they had in place. The phone interview was one hour and consisted of multiple technical questions, which were appropriate for the position and had the right level of difficulty. At the end of the phone interview, they gave me a problem to code and sent the program in.
After a few days, they called me in for the interview on-site. Again, the experience was pleasant, and I had very nice interactions with everybody I talked to. I first met with the CEO, and I liked the fact that it was a double-sided interview; he allowed me to ask as many questions (if not more) as he did. After that, I had three more technical interviews with a break at lunch.
