Senior Applications Developer Interview Experience - Vancouver, Canada
Process
I was interviewed for the FortiCare (SW Application) team. After the first online exam, which took more than 3 hours, I had an interview with the team, including two developers and the hiring manager.
They basically repeated the same questions as the online exam and spent almost 1 hour questioning me about Indexes in databases. There were also many questions about multithreading and REST APIs.
My understanding from the interview was that they don’t have a proper team culture. One of the developers was laughing all the time, and the other would get mad if you missed something in the questions. The manager was trying to trick me through the questions.
The interview lasted for 2 hours. Such a waste of time.
They didn’t even bother to get back to me with feedback (not a surprise from that kind of people).
Questions
Database indexes, multithreading, REST APIs.
