Software Engineer Interview Experience

July 10, 2024
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The recruiter called me in the middle of the workday to ask me a systems design question.

I never sent him a resume and didn't even realize I'd applied (I'm not exactly sure what job I was evidently applying for).

After the interview, he completely ghosted me.

Is this for real?

I can design scalable systems, but out of the blue in the middle of a workday isn't the best time for that.

Questions

Design a system to track cars coming in and out of a parking lot.
