      Software Developer Interview

      2 Mar 2015
      Anonymous employee
      San Diego, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at General Atomics (San Diego, CA) in Feb 2015

      Interview

      The interview process is pretty straightforward. I only had one phone interview which was both technical and behavioral. The manager I spoke to was friendly and seemed pretty laid back and was actively trying to keep the interview professional and yet seem like a conversation at the same time. A few days later, HR reached out to me and said that they'd like to continue the process which involved me sending in 5 references and them doing a background check on me. After everything checked out, they said they'd extend an offer to me sometime in the middle of March and my offer would be contingent on my GPA and a drug test.
