Software Engineer Interview Experience - McLean, Virginia

October 1, 2022
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The process was dysfunctional and probably dishonest. They likely don't have as many real job openings as their postings suggest; they are just fishing for resumes. If you apply, they'll ask you to take a coding test on codesignal.com. If you achieve a good score, they'll proceed to four interviews with their staff, comprising two coding tests, one design interview, and one psychological assessment.

Questions

They didn't ask anything about the software development frameworks listed on my resume.

They asked for two coding tests in bad faith. The recruiter had set the conditions in email as my choice of programming language. Both coding interviewers had no expectations of offering me a choice and each was surprised when I asked. I had to settle for their choices.

With so many different languages in common use, these people had no decency to tell me which ones I was required to code in, on top of violating their own written conditions.
