Engineering Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

June 1, 2010
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I interviewed with another member of the team via phone.

I was able to cover most of the language questions without too much difficulty, but then began to trip on questions about design patterns and specific algorithms.

Unfortunately, most of the jobs I've had have been pretty elementary in terms of code design and usage, so I was less prepared for that than I should have been.

I did not get a request for a 1:1 interview.
