Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
They laid off a hardworking, productive, and performing employee, yet kept those who are non-productive and non-performing (metrics and attendance-wise).
They cannot even give a solid answer, responding only in a robotic manner: "It was a business decision."
That's not true, because at some point, people made the decision, and the decision should have been made logically.
