I interviewed at Pacific Biosciences (Los Angeles, CA)
Interview
Hr interview, hiring manager interview and 4 round zoom interview. The hiring manager is mostly behavioral. The zoom interview is mostly technical focusing on live coding and system design type questions as well as debug a system question
Interview screening went well and was scheduled with hiring manager for the next steps. Unfortunately, the hiring manager had already narrowed down a top candidate prior to our scheduled meeting. Would still love to be part of the team and will continue getting updates on opportunities.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pacific Biosciences (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2024
Interview
There are 5 rounds after I passed screening interview. The worst experience ever. The interviewer asked nonsense questions regarding C++, which is not relevant to my position. It looks like he just discover new things. about C++ and he asked if I can know about it. It looks ridiculous.
