Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Milpitas, California
Process
The interview took half a day, including the lunch time. There were four people who interviewed me.
The first one was a staff engineer; he was very friendly, and the technical questions were not very hard.
The second engineer was really smart and had a deep understanding of C/C++ tricks.
Then, a very senior engineer stepped in but only asked some non-technology questions. Later, I learned he was actually a storage commit member.
The hiring manager was nice and friendly and only interested in my past experience.
The offer was issued two weeks later.
