Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
I had a phone interview in May, where I was interviewed by the hiring manager on topics ranging from networking to operating systems.
He called me the next day to set up an onsite interview.
The onsite was an exhausting experience: four hours with five interviewers.
I had to wait for a month before receiving any sort of reply from them after that.
