Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

May 1, 2022
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

FAANG process, but for a bank. Really, no idea why they took themselves so seriously.

Got interviewed for a lead position, and all the managers I spoke with had only 3-4 years of experience in the industry (at all, not just as managers).

Immature process and intern-level interview.

Questions

Design: Electric meter system for a residential building.

Coding: Calculate prime numbers.

Behavioral: Three “tell me about a time…” questions.

Design: Cr*ppy code optimization and benefits of chatbots.

The same questions were asked for the 10 engineering interviews below. No idea why they ask the same question for each interview.
