Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Minneapolis, Minnesota

November 1, 2021
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

A recruiter call, then a call with the hiring manager about work experience, followed by a coding round.

In the code round, the interviewer asked me to write a Spring-based REST API in Java in a HackerRank-type environment without Spring libraries. I asked if they wanted me to write pseudocode since the environment didn't have Spring libraries. He said no. I wrote an MVC-type program on that one page. It was confusing; it seems the interviewer didn't think that through. I did not get any communication after that round from Best Buy.
