Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

February 1, 2022
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Initial call with the recruiter.

Followed by the worst phone screen of my whole life. They ask you to share your screen and code an MVP of a service. The exact question is all over the internet. If you are not a web engineer, don't waste your time with this company or interview.

I got a working solution that I thought was quite impressive, after a lot of wasted time practicing for this interview.

The interview wasn't hard. It really specifically discriminates against engineers who don't work on a very small subset of the tech industry.

Don't waste your time with this terrible interview process.

Questions

In one hour, build an MVP of this system. Then, when you get a working multithreaded solution, we will fail you anyway without feedback or explanation.
