Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

January 30, 2019
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Very long interview process, lots of waiting to hear back and having to bump my recruiter.

Did two virtual skills assessments before being invited onsite.

Onsite accommodations were made quickly, were flexible, and were quite nice.

Onsite consisted of four additional technical interviews and eating with my "lunch buddy" (which was not part of the interview, but felt like a behavioral interview).

Questions

Standard coding questions, some behavioral questions, and some oddballs like "take two minutes to think and then teach me something for five minutes."

Was this helpful?
