Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Sunnyvale, California

Process

The recruiter was very approachable and down to earth. They gave me a rundown of the general compensation package, which was below industry average, especially the RSUs offered. However, I wanted the interview experience, so I went for an onsite anyway.

Before the onsite, the recruiter provided a list of feedback, including potential interview questions (LOL). These included topics like navigating through a maze, string searching, general SQL questions, and how to build a singleton. The interview itself was on the easier side, but I hadn't prepared, so it didn't go too well.

What struck me, though, was how aloof the interviewers were. I tried to engage one of them by asking about their work-life balance, and they basically gave me one-word responses. It's definitely not a place I want to work for.

Also, Walmart is cheap as hell. There was no lunch or transportation subsidy offered. When I asked for commute money from downtown SF, they said it's not far enough.
