Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
Three technical interviews and one purely conversational interview. Though, I was told my interviewing path was not typical due to my specific background.
The interviewers were friendly, and their questions never felt robotic or scripted. I was pleasantly surprised by how open and transparent each interviewer was, and I was given honest responses to my questions.
The entire interviewing process took about a month. I received responses regarding next steps within 1-2 days of each interview.
