Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

Applied online and was reached out to by a recruiter within 2 weeks.

Started off with a technical questionnaire, followed by a few rounds of interviews.

The whole process seemed very unorganized.

There was no intro/initial call with a recruiter to go over the logistics.

On the day of the interview, the interviewers were different from the people the recruiter said would interview me.

When I asked to be told more about the hiring team during the interview, it seemed like the hiring team was different from what the recruiter told me.

Aside from a lot of confusion and lack of organization, I enjoyed the actual interviews, as they were more realistic than some LeetCode problems you will never encounter in your job.

I thought the interviews went pretty well. I could have certainly done better, but the nerves got the best of me.

I asked the recruiters when I could expect an update and got ghosted.

Is it really hard to update with "Sorry, we are not moving forward"?

Recruiters need to realize they are the first and last impressions of the company when interviewing.

I felt like I wanted to work for this company as I went through the actual interviews, but I wouldn't even recommend interviewing here after getting ghosted.

Questions

Mix of behavioral + realistic programming session. Seems like the interviews vary a lot, but you will be fine as long as you can communicate well and know your basics.
