Software Engineer Interview Experience - Palo Alto, California

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Made it to the final round, which consists of a 2-hour assessment and 2 live technical interviews.

The 2-hour assessment is ridiculously long, and I guess they legitimately expect people to finish all of it.

One technical interview touched upon an advanced concept, and the interviewer insisted something could not be proved through a specific method. I responded by citing a proof.

The last technical interview question was a LeetCode hard that I managed to solve.

Overall, it looks like a typical Palo Alto startup, full of people with high egos.
