Principal Software Engineer Interview Experience - Toronto, Canada

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.

It was terrible. I had to download a git project with a blank container, a basic git, and a file uploader in Express. I downloaded the git, and the interviewer started getting impatient as soon as I started looking through the package.json. Then they told me this was easy, at which point I pushed back, saying, "Hey, you are asking me to install unvetted npm packages on my laptop and saying something is easy before actually explaining the task well." That's when I just thought it was stupid, so I drew up what they wanted and could see the issue almost immediately. They had a file uploader in an Express process. I pointed out that they needed chunks for scalability.

Questions

I was asked to code up a solution for a file uploader given React and Express. I said no because it needs additional considerations upfront.
