      Software Engineer Interview

      Apr 13, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      San Mateo, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SiFive (San Mateo, CA) in Mar 2018

      Interview

      Pretty clear and straight, first talk with phone and second round with zoom to share desktop to present code, they didn't asked so strict about which programming language to use, but you should deliver your thought clear enough, unluckily, I didn't and missed this great chance.
