Software Engineer Interview Experience - Half Moon Bay, California

Process

I applied through a recruiter. The process took five weeks.

It was one of the worst interview experiences I've had for an onsite. The phone screen was rigorous but fine. I got onsite, and they have you get there early so you can FaceTime with Africa to understand the mission. They then do a drone launch, which was fun to watch. The interviews they pitch as "solving a real-world problem" instead of a traditional interview. The interviewers kept being on their laptops during the interview and going in and out of the room. They all seemed to feel they had a "higher purpose" in their job, which made the whole thing feel a bit pretentious.
