Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Sunnyvale, California

Process

The first interview consisted of a phone conversation with a recruiter who was very positive and high-energy. It was a typical recruiter filtering process—seeing if I had the skills and was able to carry on a conversation about my background with confidence.

The second round was a phone interview with the hiring manager. It was pretty easy; we went over my background and then a little about the job requirements. I honestly said the job and my interests weren't a match. It was a classic "I could do the job, but do I want to do the job" situation. We closed out the interview nicely and went our separate ways.

Overall, I would say the people I dealt with were very professional and focused. If the position had matched what I was looking for, I would have been very positive about pursuing things further. Overall, it seemed to be an organization that had its act together.
