Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Palo Alto, California
Process
The overall experience was great.
The onsite interview consisted of three technical interviews and a lunch. The lunch was great, and I had a chance to eat with Rubrik engineers. The three interviewers were easy to talk with, and we kind of solved the problems together. The technical problems were medium to solve, but you had to solve them bug-free and with as few hints as possible. They have a very high bar.
The recruiting team was very effective and responsive.

I was offered more than I asked for, and that has honestly never happened to me before.Cons: From managers hiring and favoring friends and family to clear confusion about what country this company is actually in (not India) – this company has its core values all wrong.
