Engineering Interview Experience - San Mateo, California
Process
The interview was terminated prematurely by one interviewer. No reasons were given.
I had a positive impression of the first interviewer, but the second interviewer was terrible.
- Full of himself
- A good talker but a terrible listener (talked all the time, cut me off while answering questions, or jumped to conclusions as soon as I spoke two sentences)
- Rude and cocky
I would not work there even if given an offer, if the position involved working with such a person.
