Software Engineer New Grad Interview Experience - Menlo Park, California
Process
The technical questions were fairly easy, and the behavioral questions were okay. All interviewers were very kind, and the process seemed to go very well. I am unsure why I was rejected.
Perhaps I was too quick to arrive at my solutions during the technical interviews, and my answers seemed memorized. The behavioral portion could perhaps have gone better too. However, I never got stuck on any technical questions; for the most part, they were very easy.
