Probably one of the worst interviews I've had in a while. Although they got back to me fairly quickly, I felt through the entire interview that they weren't interested. It would have been best if they had refused me from the beginning.

I applied for a senior position, sent out my resume, and received a response that "the position wasn't the best for me." They then offered if I wanted to apply to a different, non-senior Software Engineer position, even though my experience spans over 7 years.

I accepted nonetheless and took it as a challenge to prove my worth. There was no phone call, no opportunity for me to introduce myself, just straight ahead to an online coding challenge. I received the challenge and only had 1 hour and 15 minutes to code 5 different challenges, all ranging from easy to medium difficulty.

Even though I had the solution in mind for every challenge, 1 hour was not enough time to complete them all. I felt as though the recruiter almost set the challenge up for failure on purpose. Writing the implementation for each one with good coding standards, testing for every scenario mentioned, plus all the hidden scenarios, is not something one can do within such a short amount of time. I've interviewed at other and bigger companies with tougher interviewing processes, and I was given at least 2 hours and 30 minutes to complete two questions. Now imagine five!

After my follow-up with the recruiter, explaining that I would be more than willing to complete all the remaining challenges, I just got a response with, "You can apply again in 6 months."

In short, I do not recommend it. Don't waste your time here; they are not willing to hear your story.
