Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
They give you a tedious take-home assignment. If you complete that, they have you talk with an Engineering Director.
It's a very uncomfortable call. He tries to be personal but comes across as creepy. They want you to show that you're obsessed with Wealthfront.
After that, there's the onsite stage. More uncomfortable interviews and cold interviewers. I feel like I dodged a bullet.
