Lead Engineer Interview Experience - Minneapolis, Minnesota
Process
The first contact over the phone with the recruiter was no problem.
The second phone technical screen was with a lead engineer who seemed to have no clue what to ask.
Then, he started asking questions about my experience. He asked a couple of technical questions that I answered correctly, but he kept changing the scenario in an attempt to get me to answer incorrectly. It was weird.
