Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

October 1, 2020
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

First, a recruiter reached out via email.

A short call with the recruiter described the process and available positions. No specific information on the interview was provided, beyond generic mentions of algorithms and data structures.

A technical phone interview was conducted with a senior engineer. It lasted approximately one hour and was remote. There was no camera used, only a code share.

I was told I would hear back within a week.

No feedback was received after the interview, and there was no follow-up from the recruiter. Over one month later, I received a standard rejection email. This unprofessional behavior is typical of larger tech companies.
