Software Engineer Interview Experience - Sydney, Australia

August 1, 2022
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The interview process included:

  • Online application
  • Email from HR regarding appointment schedule
  • Phone screening
  • Code design
  • Algorithm question
  • System design
  • Cultural fit
  • Team interview

If you are a person of color with a different background and country, you may be wasting your time, as you might be there just to fill their diversity reach quota.

The interview went okay. The questions were not really hard. I came up with satisfactory solutions, and even though the interviewer stated "okay" on each question, there were always two or three follow-up questions.

I went through the end of the follow-ups and could explain all the pros and cons of the selected idea. The interviewer even said it was okay to continue.

The algorithm question interviewer was quite a schmuck. He wasn't happy being the interviewer, and he was not really a collaborative type, nor did he nudge you towards the solution. Although, I still got the proper solution and could explain in detail why it was the optimal solution instead of others.

After all that, they just marked "not proceeding." So, unless you are a "male down under" person or of a certain ethnicity group, you are wasting your time.

Questions

  • Code design: a type of question that will use an actual algorithm or concept, and they want to see how you structure your code.
  • Algo question: some dictionary-related problem.
