Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
Usual stuff talking to every member of the team. Some are nicer than others, some language lawyers asked about C++ inheritance but there were no really tough questions on algorithm. Manager took me on a tour of espresso machines and snack bars. Nice looking building with a best company to work for sign hanging on the outside, four stories tall!
