Poway, CAPosted May 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a fairly standard, multi-round software interview flow with C/C++ focus over ~a few steps.

Recruiter screen — a ~30-minute phone conversation mixing background, behavioral questions, and C++/technical prompts.
Onsite / virtual loop (5 hours) — multiple hour-long interviews with different people, alternating technical and behavioral questions.
Teams screen + follow-ups — another Teams-based interview with standard questions plus some technical discussion (C/C++ themes).
Online panel experience — a Teams interview where I felt the vibe varied (e.g., cameras off), with questions that still seemed doable. Outcome: No offer, but the overall experience felt
