Graduate Software Engineer Interview Experience - Germany

Process

It was the single worst one I had. Not because of the difficulty, but because of the so called “engineer” who was conducting the interview.

At one point, he literally told me to “pick up a book” and “use my brain” instead of wasting his time. I was genuinely shocked by how unprofessional and disrespectful his attitude was.

I understand that technical interviews are meant to challenge candidates, and I have absolutely no problem with difficult questions or being corrected when I’m wrong. But there is a huge difference between testing someone’s knowledge and deliberately making them feel stupid.

I left the interview feeling absolutely awful, not because I couldn’t answer every question, but because of the way I was treated. An interview should be a professional conversation, not an opportunity for someone to belittle a candidate.

Regardless of the outcome, nobody deserves to be spoken to like that. This experience completely changed my impression of the company.
