Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
I think they are specifically hiring only Indians, because everybody on the interview panel was Indian.
Some questions were simple LeetCode, others were very specific database and Linux questions. If I had known they would ask these questions, it would have been easy to prepare.
Like so many companies in Silicon Valley, these jobs are more for immigration than actual hiring.
