Negative ExperienceGot Offer

Process

I reached out to a recruiter on LinkedIn, and then the process started.

The screening was with the hiring manager, followed by an on-site interview. The screening included a mix of machine learning, behavioral, and choose-your-own-questions.

The on-site interview had several rounds:

  1. Big Data (The interviewer was highly unprofessional and laughed at incorrect answers).
  2. Coding round (A simple problem).
  3. Cultural/Leadership.
  4. Design and architecture.

In the end, they offered compensation that was very low for Bay Area standards, and therefore, I rejected the offer.
