Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
The recruiter arranged an interview with the hiring manager, but on the appointed day, another junior person showed up.
He asked how to call two APIs provided in a library, in a single-threaded, single-CPU environment. I really couldn't figure out his intention.
Later, I was told they would not continue. That was the most uncomfortable interview experience.
