Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
The interview process begins with an online coding challenge.
It took about 2-3 weeks for me to hear back after the challenge.
I then went to the next round, where I had 4 interviews within 4 hours: a behavioral, 2 technical, and a tech spec interview.
The tech spec interview was the most challenging of the four, since I hadn't studied up on tech spec knowledge.
