Senior Ssoftware Engineer Interview Experience - Warsaw, Masovian Voivodeship
Process
I recently took the automated interview test from Dropbox, and I have to say the experience was extremely frustrating. The system tracks every movement and every sound, which makes the whole thing feel more like a circus than a professional interview process. On top of that, the constant pop-ups are incredibly distracting. For example, I wasn’t even allowed to have a second monitor connected.
If a company isn’t willing to invest properly in their interview process, then I’m not inclined to invest my time either—especially as a senior engineer with 15 years of experience. This kind of setup feels disrespectful to candidates and doesn’t reflect well on the company.
Don’t waste your time with automated tests which spy on you and annoy you with pop-ups.
