Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
First, there was a round of Skype interviews. An engineer initially discussed my projects and asked questions about them and related technical definitions.
Then, there was a 30-minute technical question. Because the program was complex to implement, I mainly wrote pseudocode and introduced my thinking.
After one day, I was notified that I had passed and could attend the second Skype interview.
