Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The most irritating interview experience ever.

I applied through a referral, and this was related to a telephonic interview.

The interview was supposed to be for 45 minutes, but the interviewer called 10 minutes late. He then went ahead to ask a really vague question without being clear on what he wanted me to do in certain edge cases. There were multiple times where he would say, "Hmm, I think we can do this in that scenario."

After 15 minutes of starting the call, we finally got to start coding the answer. And within 5 minutes, this guy was like, "Let me remind you that you have only 10 minutes left." 5 minutes after that, "Let me remind you, you have only 5 minutes left."
