Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
I applied online.
I spent a lot of time and effort preparing for my interviews, they were relatively easy but I don’t think this company actually wants to hire people. I thought my interview went super well, but I received a flat-out rejection (standard automated rejection after onsite). It absolutely crushed me.
No feedback or follow-up, straight-up rejection. They’re soulless, do not join. I think I dodged a bullet.
