Software Engineer (New Grad) Interview Experience

September 1, 2021
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

First, I got a phone call from the hiring manager to schedule a video interview. The manager sounded biased. He already questioned the truthfulness of my resume. During the interview, the interviewers did not ask for a self-introduction or previous school projects/experiences. Instead, after the company and position introduction, they asked a bunch of terminologies. The whole interview felt more like an interrogation or going on an exam. If you don't know the answer, they would jump to another without further discussions. They seemed not to care about what you think or your approach to a problem, but rather on how much knowledge you already have. It might be because of the nature of this position. Although the title is Software Engineer, it is more like a Software Validation Engineer.
