Principal Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
I applied, a recruiter called and set up an in-person screening with the hiring manager.
We talked for about an hour and the manager said it will get back to me.
A month later, no reply, my emails to each of them went to the black hole.
I don't know how they made it to the top 100 companies.
