Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
Phone interview:
Previous projects, then two standard technical questions.
Onsite interview:
Somewhat of a joke. The whole process felt quite disorganized, and two of the interviewers on the loop quite plainly didn't know what they were talking about and were reluctant to admit as such. Probably the easiest technical interview as a candidate to date.
Offer stage:
Compensation was rather middling for the given role and seniority. The company is averse to negotiation.
Questions
Coding, architecture, and culture.
