Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
Very organized process.
Recruiters are really helpful and friendly.
Starts with an initial phone call with the recruiter, followed by an online coding interview.
It was an extremely Java-specific interview, more about your expertise in Java than algorithms or data structures. If Java is not your expertise or if you are not looking to program in Java, you will not be very successful.
Questions
