Software Engineering Interview Experience - United States
Process
I had a phone interview with a recruiter. The recruiter was friendly. He asked some typical interview questions such as "Tell me about yourself," "Why do you want to work for this company?" and so on.
At the end, he asked short technical questions. The recruiter did not have much understanding in programming but asked some pre-prepared questions.
