Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Santa Clara, California

March 1, 2015
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The hiring manager contacted me and set up an initial conversation.

It looked interesting for the profile they were hiring for, so I went in for a full-day on-site.

In my view, the on-site went fairly well – not outstanding, but certainly not terrible.

The unfortunate (and unprofessional) part came later. I did not receive ANY communication one way or another. I took a day off work to interview with these folks when they had initiated the contact and called me in.

Afterwards, I tried contacting the recruiter, the hiring manager, etc. – nothing.

The least Chegg could have done was send me a two-sentence email saying that they would not be proceeding forward.

Questions

Usual stuff about threading, concurrency, etc.
