Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
Yahoo Flickr team!
Recruiter screen > Two technical phone screens > On-site.
They asked typical LeetCode coding problems. Until the phone screen, it was absolutely perfect. On the final on-site day, the last interviewer was so weird that he insisted on using the same approach for a problem as mentioned on LeetCode.
He even suggested I spend time on LeetCode and memorize the solutions.
No doubt why no one wants to join them. Sinking ship.
After the on-site, they don't have the courtesy to send an official email about rejection.
