Software Engineer Interview Experience - Menlo Park, California
Process
Applied at a campus career fair.
Had a phone interview, but I didn't think I did well. However, I was invited to an onsite interview.
The interviewer was very nice and basically answered two questions. About a week and a half later, the recruiter called and said I was not offered an internship.
Both interviews were mostly coding.
