Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

April 1, 2018
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The interview was a 1-hour phone screening that included one software question. The question itself was not very difficult to solve; however, the interviewer was one of the worst that I have ever seen. The interviewer did not introduce himself or ask me to introduce myself; the interviewer went straight away to the coding question. The interviewer also seemed bothered and annoyed during the call, as if he did not even want to do the interview to begin with. Overall, it was one of my worst experiences, and the entire interview was very disappointing due to the interviewer's behavioral actions.
