Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The process started with a recruiter call, followed by two Python technical interviews, a system design round, and a behavioral interview about past experience.

Positives:

  • The recruiter was friendly.
  • The process moved fast, about two days between rounds.

Negatives:

  • Every interviewer showed up ~5 minutes late.
  • Communication between the recruiter and technical team was poor.
  • I was told to prep a full-stack environment for the second technical round, but it was just another Python problem, coded in an API endpoint instead of a script. That felt like a waste of my time and disrespectful; why tell me to prep a React environment when the interview is another Python problem?
  • The interviewers were mostly young engineers, and some came off a little egotistical and biased (or maybe I was biased in my judgment, but that's how I felt with some interviewers).
  • They seemed disengaged, with little to no follow-up questions.
  • One was clearly working on their laptop during the interview, which was obvious and unprofessional.

Overall: Neutral experience due to the quick process and friendly recruiter. Commure seems better suited for fresh grads, especially international students on OPT seeking visa extensions or H1B sponsorship.
