Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
Referred by a friend.
One round of phone interview, followed by an onsite interview.
All my interviewers were pleasant to talk with and knowledgeable. The phone interview was very simple. I was kind of surprised at the questions asked.
On-site consisted of four one-hour, back-to-back interviews.
I heard back in less than a week after my phone interview and heard back the day after my on-site.
