Senior Engineer Interview Experience - Charlotte, North Carolina

January 1, 2023
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

These were some of the dumbest "engineers" I have ever spoken with. One fellow physically looked like he had Down syndrome. Out of 7 interviewers, 5 were Indian. The interviewers were poorly trained and rude. It's a curiosity that this company gets anything done, and it's laughable that they call themselves a tech company.

Questions

Proctored code challenge. Pro tip: just use another computer and type the questions into ChatGPT.

Typical behavioral stuff. Three rounds each.

System design in the worst editor possible. Design a credit card platform, including a payments API and such. The interviewer will cut you off and be combative over every choice you make.

Case study: If we deploy 52 weeks a year (just kidding, we don't deploy in December). So, if we deploy 48 weeks per year, once every two weeks, and we need to run tests in a SIMPLE, SIMPLE, RIGOROUS pattern (every 2nd and 4th week we run simple tests, every 6th week we run rigorous tests), then can we stay in budget? RIGOROUS tests are $6000 each, SIMPLE tests are $2000 each.

Here's some poorly written code from an intern. Where is the problem? Let me cut you off every 2 seconds while you look at it.

Given a string like "abdc5???5bjkbsdfda", return "True" if there are two numbers with exactly 3 question marks in between that add to 10.
