Software Engineer Interview Experience - Sunnyvale, California
Process
Applied in Career Fair, had an on-campus interview.
Three weeks later, had a second phone interview.
The first one was pretty good. The interviewer was very friendly.
The second interview was terrible. The interviewer had a strong accent, and most of the time, I couldn't understand what she was asking.
The algorithm question was not hard; I had practiced the same question on LeetCode several times. She was very picky and insisted that I was wrong, but she could not find the mistake even by herself.
The interview made me not want to continue my interview process.
