Performance and Capacity Engineer Interview Experience - Menlo Park, California
Process
There was an initial phone call with the hiring manager to assess job fit, followed by a phone screen interview, and an all-day interview gauntlet on-site in Menlo Park. Despite things seeming like a good fit for my software and DBMS optimization skills during the phone discussions, it turned out that the group was interested in low-level hardware design issues (e.g., optimal cache-line sizing).
