Senior Software Engineer - Manager Interview Experience - Austin, Texas
Process
The Austin campus appears nice on the exterior. However, upon entering, it's quite depressing.
The furniture is mismatched, dated, and falling apart. The developers' equipment is very old and mismatched.
Some developers did not have monitors, only old Lenovo Thinkpads.
It was a quite depressing place, as were the attitudes of the interviewers. No one seemed excited about working there.
