      Principal Software Engineer Interview

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Cornerstone OnDemand (Santa Monica, CA) in Nov 2017

      Interview

      The process was quick, about two weeks from initial call to phone screen and on-site interview. The on-site interview quickly transformed in my worst interview experience ever. It was supposed to be a 2 hour, 2 rounds interview, but I was let go after the first round, despite having an almost working solution. I understand that the norm is to solve 2 problems within one hour, which to me seems too short for an interview. The recruiter I spoke to was missing that day, and the guys were late to the interview. I was promised a tour of the office that did not happen.

      Thank you for taking the time to rate your interview experience. We are pleased to know the process was quick from initial call to onsite interview, as we strive to be timely. Cornerstone has high expectations and certain requirements and it sounds like, unfortunately, this wasn’t a fit. We all get busy and behind schedule, but we apologize this happened to you during an important interview. If you would like to discuss in more detail, please reach out to your recruiter or send us any information to careers@csod.com. Once again, we greatly appreciate your input and we apologize for your experience in the time you spent with us. Thank you!

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cornerstone OnDemand (Los Angeles, CA) in Jul 2017

      I was initially contacted by a recruiter from CSOD. The recruiter was very helpful in providing company information, explaining the interview and hiring process. Interviews consisted of one phone screen by the hiring manager and one-day multiple on-site interviews. The on-site interviews where mostly whiteboard technical sessions with coding and design problems.

      Question 1

      One whiteboard coding problem related to algorithms and data structures; One whiteboard design problem related to OOP, FP, and design-patterns software design; One API design problem
