Process
Terrible planning from the recruiting team. The interviewing teams were not very enthusiastic or energetic. Most seemed like they just wanted it to end. Most were rude too.
There were 4 rounds:
- One recruiter call for background and resume review.
- A panel interview (3 interviewers) on the same day, covering coding, a hybrid technical/behavioral section, and behavioral questions. There were multiple teams, so for each team, a panel interview was required. Each candidate could be chosen by a maximum of 3 or 4 teams (exact number forgotten).

Great experience. Wish the return offer process was more honest
Software Engineering Intern • Former Employee
San Jose, California, United States
October 18, 2025
Pros: Great workplace, awesome office, wonderful team.
Cons: Work sometimes felt slow, but that can be chalked up to being an intern. The only gripe I had was that at the conclusion of the internship, HR promised "some kind of update" on return offers (even if you didn't get one) by a certain date. This was a completely self-imposed deadline on their part. They then proceeded to completely disregard their commitment to that deadline.
