Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York

Process

Worst interview experience hands down. It started going downhill within the first 5 minutes, before we even got into the technical portion.

The interviewer made me feel pretty uncomfortable from the start, and I felt as if I had to fight to get a word in, even during the part where I talked about my background. He would ask a question before I was able to finish my sentence, so you can imagine that the conversation went all over the place.

During the technical portion, I couldn't even start with the basics and begin a train of thought before he asked about the trickier cases. Literally, he gave the problem, and within the first minute, he asked how I would accommodate the tricky case. If I knew within a minute, then what's the point of the problem?

I highly recommend staying away. I wish I had listened to the other reviews here that mentioned the same unprofessional and uncomfortable experience.
