Software Applications Engineer Interview Experience - Pleasanton, California
Process
I attended the info session at my college and was selected for a phone interview about a week later. The interview focused on UML modeling, which we had discussed at the information session, so it was expected and not too difficult.
About a week later, I received an email inviting me to interview at the headquarters in Pleasanton. They reimbursed all travel and stay fees.
The interview portion out of the entire day was about 3 hours long. I had 6 rounds, where I was interviewed by 1-2 people each round. They asked about my experience and skills and conducted a final technical interview on UML modeling.
I made sure to communicate my thought process, but I did go overtime in coming up with the solution, which was perhaps one reason why I did not receive an offer.
Questions
UML modeling questions, OOP concepts, Interests, Challenges I faced in completing my previous projects.
