Senior Software Engineer - Front End Interview Experience - San Mateo, California
Process
Applied online and it took 6 weeks to get a personal interview (after a phone screen).
Interviewed by engineers, the hiring manager, and the engineering director.
Some questions were relevant, some were too "lame" (e.g., "Can you explain encapsulation?"), and some were not relevant (the director wanted me to architect their system).
The hiring manager promised to get back to me ASAP, but it still took them 10 days to decide not to proceed.
