C++ Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
The interview process included a take-home test, followed by three video conference interviews. One of these interviews was behavioral, and the other two were technical. Finally, there was a meeting with the hiring manager.
I really enjoyed talking with the engineers. They seemed like people I would work well with. However, the hiring manager didn’t give me good vibes; he was not very personable.
The strengths of the whole process were that it was pretty quick and there were no trick questions.
