Entry-Level Software Engineer Interview Experience - Los Angeles, California
Process
I talked to them at a career fair on campus.
They brought me in a couple of days later for an on-campus interview, which I assumed was a screening interview.
I'm not a CS major, but my interviewer didn't ask me much and was generally very difficult to talk to.
I was also caught off guard when he gave me a design question, because I had mostly been practicing coding questions. Other friends I know were asked mostly knowledge-based questions as well.

- 5.0Great company to work forSoftware Development Engineer III • Current EmployeeDublin, Leinster, IrelandMay 1, 2024Pros: - Low pressure, unless you're pushing for promotion, in which case there will be some self-imposed pressure. - Great people to work with. - Generally open and honest management. - Great pay and benefits (especially love the option to work remotely from abroad for up to a month per year). - Weekly opportunity to give anonymous feedback, which can be seen not only by direct managers but right up the management chain. Someone in that management chain will 100% acknowledge the feedback and sometimes respond if necessary.Cons: - Heavy use of proprietary technology in most teams. The rest are kinda benign: - Management is in all of the standups and has pretty close eyes on everything (though they never put any pressure on you unless you are working on some blocker issue for customers). - (Could be a pro for extroverts) Big emphasis on socializing, lots of events, games, etc., that I am regularly invited to. Gamification of learning also happens, with quizzes, etc. (Not mandatory stuff, but there's certainly a pressure there, I feel, as an introvert).
