Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Kraków, Poland

May 1, 2022

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The recruiter contacted me via LinkedIn. She was unfriendly and didn't even have a profile picture, which I found unprofessional on LinkedIn.

The first round was an online coding round, which I passed.

Then there was one more coding round with their engineer. Well, she suspected me of cheating because I figured out an optimal approach from the beginning.

After four days, the recruiter gave a positive response and said she would conduct the next round, which would be one more interview.

Now it has been a week, and the recruiter won't even reply to my messages.

Questions

Normal, basic LeetCode questions.

Finding missing numbers, palindrome, etc.

Cheap company - doesn't value existing employees

Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: Good learning outcomes if you are new to the networking domain. Helpful mentors in the company. Good work-life balance.

Cons: Existing employees (even the ones that have been here for 4+ years) are not valued. The company seems to be paying more to lateral hires who are much more junior to many currently in the company. The hikes are not good and sometimes non-existent. The increase in stock value will be treated as hikes. Talking to senior management (including directors) has no effect; they will give you a very vague answer on any question related to compensation, and many times you will have to act like a beggar to even get peanuts here. If you are not particular about the field, please go and try for companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and many other startups that reward you for your work and also make sure you are a better engineer during your stay there.
