Backend Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
The interviewer was very disrespectful. He didn’t even allow me to introduce myself. He didn’t even speak English properly.
Most of them are Chinese and cannot speak English whatsoever. When you ask them questions, they don’t know how to answer them. They were very rude and disrespectful throughout the interview.
Do not apply to this horrible company. Respect yourself!
Questions
Digging deep in the resume, as if I lied. Very condescending tone of questioning.
