Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Diego, California
Process
Had an initial screening process and then the onsite, which consisted of one technical interview and several talks with managers. Overall, I did good but was told they went with the other person applying for the role. My only complaint is the recruiter told me he was going to try to show my results to other managers, but he ghosted me, even though they had lots of open roles at that time.
Questions
Initial technical screen - sorting an array.
