Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

April 4, 2026
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied through a recruiter.

I had my recruiter screen first. The recruiter was a little rude and said we would see if you get the senior role or not.

The next round was a technical screen, which asked a question that seemed pretty straightforward but was actually very confusing. I kept asking questions, clarifying it, and coding the problem. I was able to solve it, but then I was later told by the interviewer that that's not what the question is asking (I mean, you should tell me when I am asking you questions and not when my code is complete), leaving me no time to correct it.

Questions

The interviewer asked a Java Object-Oriented Programming question.
