      Software Engineer Interview

      Feb 1, 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Jose, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 3 days. I interviewed at FireEye (San Jose, CA) in Dec 2011

      Interview

      Contacted by an in-house recruiter who set up call from a director. Instead, the call came forty minutes past the scheduled time from an engineer who asked some typical/easy questions over about a half hour. The next day I got an unscheduled call from the director who spent a half hour selling the company to me and setup an in-house interview the next day. This consisted of: * skills test -- multiple choice, where several questions had no correct answer listed * 1:1s with four or five people ranging from other programmers through another director. All of this over three hours or so. After this we shook hands and I was sent home. No further correspondence. I wrote a follow up email, and still nothing.
