Platform Engineer Interview Experience - Santa Clara, California
Process
I was called for an onsite interview and was told that HR would get back to me to book the travel, which took about a month and a half, irrespective of my following up.
The interview was set up for one-on-one meetings with four different people, half an hour each. After reaching the premises, I was told that the manager had quit the previous day and they didn't know what to do with me.
