Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

Avoid this circus. I applied online. A recruiter reached out and then dodged my follow-up questions for a week. Then things were magically scheduled. Days later, I talked to someone in a technical screen. I was tasked with guessing at how Elastic chose to configure their internal system, and what problems might arise from the mystery configuration. I don't know... lots?
