Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
I submitted my resume during the career fair and got an on-campus interview two days later. I then flew to SF for final interviews.
I was asked several fun questions, not like "implement xx algorithm," and the interviewers really wanted to see me succeed.
I experienced a slight lag during background checking, but overall the process was quite smooth, and HR was very helpful and responsive.
Questions
Several easy problems. I think they also care a lot about if you actually love CS or not.
