Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California

April 1, 2022
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

At the beginning, they asked me about part of my resume, the language used, and some details about the project. They then asked a less recently used question and finally asked if I had any questions before ending the interview 10 minutes early.

I don't feel good. They don't seem to care about my background or the problem I solved. I don't think they wanted to listen to my understanding or answer my questions.

What I want to say is that if you don't want to recruit me, you can reject me directly. You don't need to interview me as if you're just trying to meet certain minimum requirements.

Questions

They asked LRU and resume questions.
