Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States

Process

The interviewer spoke very broken English and spent 10 minutes trying to explain the problem and copy it into the HackerRank session.

The problem was to add functionality to an existing 300-line Python HTTP server using a framework I was unfamiliar with.

I asked for clarification on the instructions multiple times but only received vague answers. I implemented the code using existing functions but was told I did not do it correctly, without further instruction.

Afterward, I asked about their experience working at the company. It sounds like they regularly work on weekends.

Questions

Add a handler to this existing HTTP server for retrieving data about a user.
