Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California

July 1, 2020
Positive ExperienceNo Response

Process

HR interaction was great throughout the process. I had a 1-hour coding round to begin with, followed by 5 virtual onsite rounds. Three of the interviews focused on algorithms and data structures. One of them was with the hiring manager, who was very friendly and did a great job answering questions I had. Overall, it seemed like a nice team to work with.

My only bad experience was during one of the rounds when I felt the interviewer was quite rude. The questions were around general distributed systems, but they had made up their mind on what the right answer was, so the session was not very productive.
