Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience

October 1, 2022

Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Applied in early August.

Had my final round in October.

The behavioral interview was a bit tough, but the technical round was easier than expected.

I was rejected, but I think it was largely my fault.

Great Engineers, Not so Great Leadership

Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee

San Mateo, California, United States

Pros: - Compensation is high. - Engineers are great, both technically and as people. - Some of the engineering work is interesting.

Cons: Leadership (C-Suite specifically) is poor. They will lie and break promises for short-term gains while touting they are "taking the long view." Focus seems to be whatever Dave wants as opposed to what the company actually needs. Remote work is no longer an option. Previous employees who were pre-approved to work remotely were forced to come back to HQ or take severance.
