Product Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
The interview process consisted of three rounds. I was first contacted by a recruiter and scheduled a phone call. The next round was a technical interview for an hour that involved a medium LeetCode question. The third round was an in-person technical interview and a meet-and-greet with the team. The whole process took almost a month, and I was ghosted in the end despite reaching out for a follow-up.
