Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
August 1, 2017
Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I received a referral from a friend but was rejected due to a lack of internship experience.
It is ridiculous to only hire people with internship experience. At least they should give people a chance instead of just throwing their resumes in the garbage.
