Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I received a phone call from their recruiter.

We set up an initial phone conversation, which led to being invited in for personal interviews.

It took over a week to set up the date.

I came in and waited half an hour for the interviewer. The whole atmosphere was extremely cold.

The first interviewer asked me about my past, skills, and to provide examples of various projects I worked on.

The next interviewer seemed rushed and made no eye contact with me.

The next interviewer was a salesperson who had only been at the company for 3 months and did not know what she was doing.

I walked out very confused.
