Software Engineer Interview Experience - Boston, Massachusetts
Process
I had a phone screen first, where the recruiter asked me a few basic questions. I communicated that I didn't have systems experience from the past as she asked me some intermediate systems questions. I got through the phone screen and then had a Skype interview. Again, systems questions came up, and since this was an engineer, he seemed a lot more put off. Ultimately, I did not advance.
