Software Engineer, Backend Interview Experience - San Jose, California

April 24, 2026
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.

  • 1 initial phone screen with a recruiter.
  • Stage 1: 2 coding rounds. If passed (need at least 3 out of 4 score in each round) then to the next stage.
  • Stage 2: 1 System Design, 1 Coding, 1 behavioral.

Never got feedback for Stage 2. I thought I did better in Stage 2 but still did not make the cut. The recruiter refuses to share feedback on Stage 2, but shared feedback after passing Stage 1.

After a few days of the interview, I received a notification on LinkedIn that someone from Snowflake had visited my profile. Then, the very next business day, I got rejected. I feel like my interviews went well but got rejected based on my LinkedIn.
