Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
A recruiter reached out, and then I had the technical phone screen.
The interviewer wasted too much time just trying to understand what a "linked list" is. It felt like they didn't have much experience. The whole interview felt like a waste of time.
Moreover, I implemented the solution in 25 minutes after the interviewer wasted 30 minutes of my time, but they still decided not to move forward.
I am glad.
