Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

April 1, 2021
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Discussed with the recruiter via email.

Participated in a 45-minute interview with the hiring manager, covering both behavioral and technical questions. The interview was conducted via Google Meet, but the audio and video quality were poor, making it difficult to hear the questions and view the interviewer clearly. The interviewer appeared to be reading from a script and showed little interest in the responses.

Was subsequently ghosted by the company, with no response even after following up.

Questions

  • Outdated system of interviews, including the same old questions like "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" and "How do you deal with conflicts at work?"

  • Small algorithm exercise. The interviewer didn't really know how to resolve the issue either.
