Software Development Engineer II Interview Experience
Process
Applied through their website, followed by a short call with HR.
Then another 1-hour call with the hiring manager.
Then a round of 5 interviews, 1 hour each, with different members of the organization.
Waited 2 weeks to get an email stating that there would be an answer by day X. Nothing happened on day X, making it 3 weeks.
Contacted the recruiter, who stated there would be an answer on the same day. You can guess that there was no answer on the same day.
Hope they treat their employees better than the candidates.
