Software Engineer II Interview Experience - Milpitas, California
Process
They are fast! The entire week took 3 weeks.
Week one, the recruiter saw my resume online and contacted me, asked me whether I was interested in their position. I told him yes of course.
Week two, one manager called me for a phone interview. He was a nice guy and the questions were relatively easy, I guess because I'm still in college, having no working experience.
Week three, they brought me in for on-site interview. Met 4~5 guys there, one by one. The questions were focused on my background and some programming concepts. The only downside is they sent me rejection letter almost 2 months after that.

- 2.0OK Company : Work Life Balance can be compromisedSoftware Engineer II • Former EmployeeSeptember 27, 2012Pros: It has slightly better pay than other product based companies. New grads are offered a good package initially. If you're from Chennai / Tamilnadu, it's a good company to consider. Otherwise, think thrice. If you're lucky you could work on business critical problems and also get to travel a lot.Cons: Compromised work-life balance because you'd be working a lot more than other product companies. Immature and incompetent management where most managers lack basic management skills and pay for performance is a myth. In certain cases, talent is highly overrated, at least in India. If you heard you will get to work with highly talented people, it mostly means normal people who burn themselves out to solve customer escalations and receive hefty packages.
