Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York

July 1, 2017
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

  • Two phone screens, including coding and problem-solving.
  • Two rounds of in-person interviews, with two interviewers each.

I sailed through the two phone screens, which were harder than the in-person interviews. I was let go after the second round in-person. There was no courtesy of feedback; I received an automated response saying I am not being considered for the position.

The reason I am writing is that I thought I excelled in the in-person interviews, answering all questions to the fullest, demonstrating my thinking process, and considering all edge cases while reaching the answers. Perhaps I was not a match for the position, or vice-versa, but they need to at least have the courtesy of constructive feedback, considering the time and effort we put in.

Note for future candidates: If a position requires C++ and you are a Java person, DO NOT APPLY! They do not understand Java APIs, and answering questions in Java backfires.
