Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

Code assessment then to power day interview with 4 rounds. Overall the power day interviews were okay except for the case study.

The interviewer was disengaged while being on their phone the whole time. There was a part where the interviewer said fix the mistakes then went back to their phone. I pointed out their code has other errors with template and was ignored. Then while attempting to fix those (10 mins later) they mentioned to ignore that part and focus on the very bottom part of the code.

What a waste of time and very unprofessional. This makes me wager a few of the interviewers probably could not pass their own interview process today.
