Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York

March 1, 2015
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Step 1: Phone call with recruiter

Discussed the position. Questioned if the job was suitable for my skill-set, especially with not having some requirements. I checked and was told I only needed familiarity with Java, not experience.

Step 2: Interview via webcam (you talk to your computer with nobody on the other side)

Answered text questions verbally. Nothing out of the ordinary. Some multiple-choice and 'type your answer' questions.

Step 3: Assessment with person via webcam

Was informed this step was not an interview, but a basic 60-question assessment in 45 minutes. No questions surrounding my experience were mentioned. Basic web questions with a shared coding screen.

Step 4: I didn't get to this point. No feedback was returned. I have been completely ignored by HR and would rate this as one of the worst interview experiences through my 10 years in a professional setting.
