Software Engineer Interview Experience - Sunnyvale, California

Process

The process started with a technical phone screening by the hiring manager, followed by a full-day on-site interview. At that time, the entire hiring process was not that bad. I think it took a little over a week to receive an offer. Nowadays, it takes much longer. I participate in the hiring process as an interviewer now and often see that we lose good candidates because it takes weeks to pass through the hiring committee.
