Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
After a short phone interview, I had a one-hour technical interview.
Then they asked me to be prepared for some topics that they are working on for the virtual on-site interview. I spent one whole week preparing.
I went through 5 rounds of interview sessions and answered all the questions.
In the end, they gave me an offer that was at least 30 percent lower than the lowest offer I had, and told me this was the best they could do right now due to some limitations.
I rejected the offer and wasted one week.
Questions
From simple DS questions to medium LT.
