Software Engineer Interview Experience - Sunnyvale, California

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I was scheduled for a virtual onsite interview (4-5 rounds). However, after 2 rounds, I got a call from recruiter informing that all other rounds have been cancelled. Overall, don't waste your time here.

The interviewers are rude. They lack a professional process. The coding questions were easy however they keep trying to get your moral down.

The JD said the following ( I guess they really mean it) ego and someone who puts the team and the organization first. You have strong opinions that are loosely held. Even if you get an offer, think before you join the team.
