Software Engineer Interview Experience - Chicago, Illinois

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Initial coding interview. Solve some small project through zoom and a shared coding link.

Final interview.

  1. Debug some bad code. Requires a lot of quiet reading. Make the unit tests pass. They require you to share your screen, so be aware.
  2. System design on a popular question. Very open ended. The interviews will stare at you to make you uncomfortable. Since there are many answers, with many tradeoffs, they won't tell you if you're doing right or wrong. So be careful. They want you to fail.
  3. Talk to your manager

No real feedback and the recruiter ghosted me. It's like they hate you.

This company has a lot of negative interview reviews. It's all true.
