Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I was interviewing for a web engineer position on the data technologies team.
I chatted with the recruiter and was told I would have a LeetCode-style question for my first technical screen (live interview).
In this interview, however, I was first given a task to create a simple Express.js application. The next task was to use plain HTML/CSS/JS to create a calculator.
The dev environment was basically a JSFiddle quadrants view with HTML, CSS, JS, and preview panels. It was uncomfortable to code in, and I didn't end up in a great spot.
I acknowledge that I should have performed better despite this, but overall, I think this was a poor interview to showcase experience and skills.

- 3.0Getting worse and worseSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesJanuary 25, 2020Pros: Very good health benefits, free snacks, nice offices, and global mobility.Cons: They are hiring smart people and turning them into coding monkeys. Before, each software engineer had a chance to manage their own projects and came up with their own ideas to solve problems. Now, with all these agile idiotic practices, which do not fit the business, you do what you are told to do. New team leaders are practicing nano-management. If you are smart, you are screwed. Also, you will start to feel like you are working in India.
