Software Engineer Interview Experience - Menlo Park, California
Process
A recruiter contacted me. This was followed by a phone screen where I was asked to solve a problem on Coderpad.
I was brought onsite to the Menlo Park office where I had to go through four rounds of interviews:
- One career discussion + coding
- Two completely coding
- One system design
The office seemed pretty dead, as did the people. During the design round, the interviewer never gave me any feedback and was busy typing on his phone the entire time. The lunch interviewer seemed to find it hard to smile.
Overall, the place gave me a pretty negative vibe.
