Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Mateo, California

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

It was supposed to be a 5-hour interview with 5 different individuals.

It was a very bad experience, as my interview was stopped in the middle when I asked for more details to understand the technical question put forth by the first interviewer.

This is a very bad experience I've encountered in my 20 years in this field.

I felt there was no alignment between the team lead who selected me for the in-person interview and the teammate who interviewed me first during the in-person.

Questions

Some string manipulation which I was trying to understand.
