Software Engineer Interview Experience - Ithaca, New York

Positive ExperienceGot Offer
Process
I originally had two phone calls for very low-level programming (kernel-level drivers). After expressing my distaste for that form of work and requesting something more abstract, I received two more interviews from the D3D team.
A lot of it was question-and-answer, which is typical for an interview.

Avoid internal tooling / support software teams
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Santa Clara, California, United States
April 22, 2021
Pros: Stock growth due to core Hardware business.
Cons: Their core system software may be OK (those C/C++ teams).
But those internal tooling/supporting teams are terrible.
These are the so-called infra/cloud teams.
Although they advertise that they are a hardware company that has built its software strength, the truth is that good software practice is poor.
As for the quality of SW infra in a hardware company, decide it for yourself.
Some groups have bad process and tech stacks.
Work has little skill involved but lots of drama and politics.
Often, people need to stay late to work with colleagues from different timezones.
