Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The interview process began with an initial phone conversation, followed by an on-site interview day. I was interviewed by five different people. They flew me out and put me up in a hotel.

The interview process was fairly standard. It consisted of a technical coding interview where I had to write code on a whiteboard, followed by a software design interview, and then some interviews with management.

I was also given a tour of the campus and a "welcome to your interview" pack.

The hardest part of the interview was at the end, with one of the executives. They tore apart my resume, questioned what I was wearing, swore, and made me feel like a fraud.
