Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
The interview process included a coding challenge, a phone interview, and then an onsite interview.
The first interviewer during my onsite was extremely rude.
He seemed to have no interest in interviewing people, brought his drink, and drank it for half of the interview time.
He asked things unrelated to the role and wore a smelly leather jacket.
