Easy Interview

Overall Negative Experience

Interviewed and No Offer

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)

Talked to recruiters at campus job fair. They contacted me a week later and set up a phone interview. Questions were average but kind of unrelated to my educational and research background. There were some general c++ and object oriented programming questions that were pretty easy. Beyond that, completely irrelevant and a waste of time.

Very Easy Interview

Overall Negative Experience

Received and Accepted Offer

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Santa Clara, CA (took 4 days)

Pretty straight forward. I had interviews with 3 different teams and had all 3 offers for different positions. Software Engineer, Research Engineer and Quality Engineer.

There is a serious flaw in hiring process in terms of they ask only listed questions given by management or sort of their own in the field they are skillful and completely overlook your experience. They dont care much about talent but just check whether you satisfy their technology needs.

Interview Questions

java, database query processing, search engine, mathematical problem they want to solve

Negotiation Details

Just accepted the research position. Definitely should have negotiated knowing the amount of work I did compared to compensation and treatment I received from my manager.
