Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - California City, California
Process
The interview took 3 minutes. I said I'm Wilfredo from Venezuela, then they told me that they cannot hire people from Venezuela but from other LatAm countries. It's ironic that the job description says, "We do not discriminate by nationality, religion, gender..." but they do.
