Software Developer Interview Experience - Irvine, California

August 1, 2014
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Steps:

  1. Recommended by a recruiter
  2. Technical phone interview
  3. In-person technical panel interview

Followed up with the recruiter but received no feedback from the interviewer. I assume the job is still open.

Interviewers seemed overworked and a little disorganized. They were not very experienced and dressed casually (unshaven), appearing a little rushed. I expected a more disciplined approach.

Questions

Multiple and basic code "writing" questions on a whiteboard, but nothing about work style, problem-solving approach, or best-fit personalities for the job. A better approach would be to "read" code, discuss how I would perform a task, or how I would work with certain personality types. They don't seem to have any urgency to fill the position. Frustrating...
