Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

There was a multiple-choice questions round (10 minutes, 12 basic Java questions), followed by a coding interview round (simple string manipulation).

Then, they arranged an onsite interview, four hours long, in a row.

Usually, the company keeps its best engineers on the interview panel. I found them underconfident and technically unsound.

In the second onsite interview, I wanted to check some syntax online. The interviewer asked me not to use any reference and said we could work together. When I asked him, he himself started referring to the documentation online for the syntax. LOL.

They have a poor sense of judgment, or maybe they feel insecure and do not want to hire a candidate better than them.

Their hiring process is so bad; they don't know what they want exactly. Even if you do great, there is no guarantee you will get an offer. Worst experience ever!
