Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

A little disappointing.

The interviewer seemed more interested in the coding test than talking about my actual skills and experience.

I grasped the general logic of the coding test, but it wouldn’t compile due to some type issue.

It was pretty clear that was the deciding factor, given that my skills aligned quite well.

I would have preferred to just do an online Hackerrank and not have to perform under the pressure of an in-person interview.

It kind of felt like a waste of time.
