Principal Software Engineer Interview Experience - Bengaluru, India

Process

One of the worst interview experiences so far. It seems there is no formal training in place for the people conducting the interviews and deciding the outcome. The person who interviewed me was not at all prepared and started asking questions that lacked any context for our discussion. From time to time, they would look aside, up, think for one to two minutes, and then ask something completely unrelated. It seemed as though someone was forcefully made to conduct the interview. In a few cases, I asked them to mention the use case behind their questions, but I received no answer. Again, it could have been a bad day, but overall, the discussion was very boring from start to finish.
