Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
I applied through LinkedIn and was contacted by the recruiter. The whole process took 3 weeks.
The first round was a 45-minute phone screening interview. The questions were mainly based on my resume.
After that, they scheduled an on-site interview, which had 4 rounds. The recruiting coordinator had messed up the schedule, and I had to wait for 30-40 minutes for the interview to start.
Each round had a coding problem and a design problem.

- 2.0Culture clash in San JoseSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Jose, California, United StatesJanuary 27, 2016Pros: Pay is reasonably competitive. You get to work with some really sharp people in the Scala community. Low standards for performance make work-life balance easy, if skating along with your head down is your thing.Cons: Laughably abysmal project velocity, internal politics, and a series of top-down reorganizations have resulted in a protracted land grab. Management on the East Coast just doesn't understand Bay Area hiring and employment culture. God help you if you need something from a Verizon team that's not also in San Jose. Your day-to-day experience will be highly dependent on the team; some seem terrible, some seem average.
