Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States
January 20, 2017
Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
1/2 hour call, discussed a technical task but it was very open-ended. Not sure what the interviewer was looking for beyond having a conversation.
I received no feedback or response one week past the interview. I consider that unprofessional from their recruiting department.
