Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

February 1, 2022
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The recruiter was friendly. I had scheduled a phone interview for a backend role, but the interviewer appeared for a frontend interview. We had to reschedule for the backend interview.

I was asked a straightforward question, which I was able to solve, but a follow-up question was posed for which I only had 15 minutes to solve. Consequently, I couldn't finish it and was likely rejected because of this.

It seems harsh to expect two working solutions in 45 minutes.
