Back-end Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
College campus interview followed by four stage on-site interview. Three of the on-site interviews went well, and one went not so well. I'm guessing I was vetoed by that one interviewer. Also, keep in mind that they require three references from managers/teachers/bosses. They didn't inform me of this until after the interviews, and I probably wouldn't have applied if they had told me up front.
Questions
NDA.
