Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
Waste of time.
Applied online and about a week later, received an invitation link to schedule a 45-minute phone/video coding interview.
The interviewer was nice and knowledgeable. The task wasn't very hard; I completed it in about 15-20 minutes, so we finished early (the entire interview took about 30 minutes, though it was supposed to be 45).
After waiting a week, I asked about an update and received a standard reply that they were moving forward with other candidates. Frustrating...
