Software Engineer Interview Experience - Menlo Park, California
Process
I applied online but didn't get an interview until one of my friends kept bugging the recruiter to grant me one. After that, which took a long while, I had one or two phone interviews. Shortly afterwards, I flew out to Menlo Park for an on-site interview.
The on-site interview was surprisingly brief, consisting of only two technical rounds followed by one fit interview. Overall, the on-site experience was enjoyable.
