NetApp Software Engineer interview experience

It started with two phone interviews, and then I moved to an on-site where I talked with six people. The on-site kicked off with a thesis presentation, and then the rest of the conversations followed that initial talk.

By the end, I was told they were going to go with an internal candidate. It was frustrating because the schedule and effort didn’t match the final decision. Honestly, the whole thing felt like a lot of time spent for a result that had already been effectively decided in their minds, and I didn’t walk away feeling great about how the process was handled.
