Software Engineer Interview Experience - Menlo Park, California

April 1, 2012
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The interview process consisted of:

  • One phone interview
  • Four one-on-one face-to-face interviews
  • One follow-up phone interview

The recruiter informed me they were concerned about my system design skills. They offered me another opportunity after the on-site interview, after which they stated I had performed well but decided to interview me one more time on system design.

Two days later, however, they called again and canceled the second follow-up interview. I was somewhat upset as they had promised another interview, but all I can do is move on.
