Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - McLean, Virginia

January 1, 2019
Negative ExperienceGot Offer

Process

The interview process included:

  • A phone screen with a recruiter, where I was asked my salary expectations.
  • A job fit phone interview with a manager in a team.
  • A technical video interview with a Senior Developer on the team, which involved a technical task I had to complete in a shared document (easy to medium LeetCode).
  • Four on-site interviews back-to-back.

I received a lowball offer, significantly lower than what was discussed with the recruiter, which I declined. Overall, it was a big waste of time.

Questions

Multiple very specific technical questions.

Multiple easy-to-medium algorithmic questions.

Absolutely ridiculous behavioral questions.
