Process

I talked with a recruiter and then went to Palo Alto for an on-campus technical interview. The interview took about 90 minutes, involving whiteboard coding and discussing hypothetical experiments.

The interviewer did not ask ANY questions about the type of work I currently do or projects I have completed. They didn't seem interested in anything other than checking boxes on their form.

It felt more like an interrogation than a conversation.
