Senior Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Dublin, Ireland
Process
At first, I spoke with a technical recruiter, and everything seemed to have gone well.
Then, I moved to the next step: a cultural assessment with senior developers of the Cloudwatch team. This also went well, and I was supposed to receive a technical assessment to complete as homework and a technical interview.
I never received the homework, and the technical interview was scheduled incorrectly, again as a cultural interview. They were surprised too.
Finally, the assessment and the technical interview arrived. They never got back to me for more than a month, and then they sent me a withdrawal email with incorrect names (a clear copy-paste).
Terribly unprofessional.
