Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California

Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The interview was excellent and was held in San Jose, CA.

I applied online and was scheduled for a phone screen after one week.

After the phone screen and a one-month wait, I was called for an onsite meeting with five people, plus lunch.

I met the team and had a great time with them. The questions focused more on cloud technologies and my resume. Coding questions were asked in Python, and all were easy to solve.

I received the outcome and they were able to make me an offer.

However, the hiring manager called me up after a week, asked petty questions, and my offer was declined.
