Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Spain

October 26, 2022
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I was contacted by a recruiter after applying via LinkedIn. The process consisted of four meetings:

  1. First screener with HR
  2. Technical discussion with team members
  3. Evaluation of team player abilities with an engineer from another team
  4. Final meeting with the hiring manager

I got very good feedback from the first three meetings. The fourth and supposedly last was very smooth and constructive, and I felt I did a good job. To my surprise, for the next two weeks I did not receive any response after that last meeting, including a follow-up email I sent to them. Finally, two weeks after the last meeting, I received a rejection email explaining that there were better candidates than me for the position.

Questions

There was no code challenge. It was mostly about how I would resolve different situations and conflicts with the rest of the team.
