      Software Engineer Interview

      Sep 26, 2012
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Shutterfly

      Interview

      I have mixed opinion about the interview process. It's a hit-or-miss. The company has a high attrition rate. While the position that I applied to opened up after several months, the company was undergoing major reorganization. The manager who interviewed me wanted to invite me onsite. However the position moved under a different manager. Still they called me for an interview. The interviewers were very polite, interested and respectful. After a couple of days, I was asked to meet a couple of other folks working at a different location. The second round was indeed a very bad experience since the guy interviewing me had no idea about my background or previous interview. He probably had no time to look at my resume and struggled to come up with questions. Based on the questions he asked , I could tell that he was not prepared and seemed like it was just imposed on him. The other interviewer admitted that the resume was sent by the recruiter at the last min and hence ended up asking general questions. After sending a couple of reminders, I finally got to hear that I was not the right fit for the role. It was really frustrating. They do make a good product, have very easy going people. This experience was terrible. If you plan on applying or interviewing at Shutterfly, make sure that you don't get fooled by the recruiter's sweet talk. Don't keep hopes until you have the offer letter.

      Question 1

      Most questions are fairly easy. If you are applying for a java position, make sure you know concurrency, Data structures and Collections really well.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Shutterfly

      Interview

      I had a short phone call with the recruiter, after which she sent me a home assignment. For a junior position, it wasn't easy, and I couldn't complete it within the given time frame. I emailed her to explain the situation, and she told me to send what I had—possibly giving me more time.

      Home assignment that you need to send back after 48 hours

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Shutterfly (San Jose, CA)

      Interview

      OA + onsite, 3 rounds of interviews with coding. Not too hard — average level, but with a focus on communication. HR will reach out within one to two weeks. Standard package: no stock, no sign-on bonus.
