Software Engineer Interview Experience - Santa Clara, California
Process
I first had two telephone interviews, which were not that difficult and mostly based on Computer Networks and OS.
Then I was called onsite.
I had six interviews:
- Two telephone
- One lunch
- Three face-to-face
The onsite telephone interviews weren't clear, and though the job description didn't mention Machine Learning and Compiler Construction, I was asked questions about them.
