Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

October 1, 2015

Process

I literally rocked every single interview. However, I was continually given questions that showed there was a bias towards hiring bootcamp graduates ("wait, so if you read Cormen you would know that..."). Also, the SF office is in an incredibly boring part of town. I was rejected days later. They were some of the best interviews I had.

Don't bother prepping; it's probably out of your control whether you get hired, in my opinion.

It's been three months, and I still don't have my reimbursement.
