Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
The recruiting people and the system are extremely unreliable. You will talk to multiple people, and you don't know who is who? As for their recruiting system, when they said they will send you an email via recruiting system, but you will never receive one. Finally, when you recall this and ask, they will claim that their system had some difficulty... Asks a lot of Java details in interviews. Programming problems are easy.

Ability to learn new technologies. Frequent team outings and lunches. Able to move to different teams within the organization. Nice pay.Cons: VERY VERY RUSH environment. Stages were broken, and we were making stages work every day to continue our work. Completely immature development environment which needs fixing ASAP. Overall approach was to get work done in quantity and not quality. Some senior developers were behaving like managers, and I had quite confusion about who was my manager! One senior developer was shouting in the team meeting like we were working on some multi-billion project in the CIA!
