Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Austin, Texas

Process

My interview was just okay. The interviewer (I don't want to mention his name here) did not ask me any technical questions. Apart from that, he misunderstood that I am a front-end developer, and said this was purely back-end development work. I tried to tell him that I have worked extensively as a back-end developer and as a full-stack developer as well, but he didn't seem convinced.

Being a full-stack developer, I have worked on all stages of the SDLC, including documentation. He wanted me to take him through my career résumé (a basic question). And this is where he judged me. He never gave me an opportunity or asked me technical questions!

He became a bit rude as soon as he judged me to be a front-end developer, and it was clear from his voice that he was no longer interested in continuing the conversation. I would say he had no etiquette for talking to a lady, as well as as an interviewer. At the end of the interview, which hardly lasted 15 minutes, when I asked about more about the work, projects, etc., he back answered: "I don't think it would be necessary or you need to know more about anything."

I have attended several interviews in my career till now. There have been many times when I was not selected. But even though, each interviewer takes time to explain about everything.

Negative Experience.
