Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
The interview lasted a whole day. Three managers interviewed me. This was for a new grad hire position.
It started with a campus tour. Afterward, the three managers asked different technical questions.
The interview was for a choice program. Therefore, the interviewers were not necessarily the hiring managers.
Be honest during the interview. If you do not have background in certain tech or programming, just let them know. They do not expect you to know everything.
