Staff Engineer Interview Experience - San Diego, California

Process

I met the phone screener in person for coffee rather than on the phone. He approved and said he'd bring me in for a full on-site interview.

About two weeks later, I went to San Diego for the position, which was located either in San Diego or Silicon Valley.

I interviewed with five team members. The interview included a mix of technical questions, get-to-know-you questions, and discussions about my relevant experience.

I came away feeling positive. I was notified by email the next day that an offer was being prepared for me.

I made a small negotiation over the phone and accepted the offer.
