Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I have never before strongly felt the urge to stand up and walk out of an interview.

The firm may be doing well, and its people are probably very smart, but they need to check their egos.

I had a few pleasant interviewers on-site, but the senior managers truly aggravated me. They weren't even trying hard to understand my perspective.

My last interviewer openly told me he hates conducting interviews. He didn't listen to much I had to say and was clearly bored.

I was angry enough to mention this during the HR exit round.

I didn't receive an offer, and I wouldn't have accepted it anyway.

The HR representative was the only person who spoke kindly, which is something one would expect from other firms and people.
