Software Engineer Interview Experience - Palo Alto, California

After an on-campus interview that included basic behavioral and technical questions, I proceeded to a two-part technical interview onsite.
The onsite portion consisted of two 40-minute one-on-one sessions with software engineers.
All my interviewers were super friendly and excited to be there.
I was notified via email a couple of days after the onsite that I was not selected.
