Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The interview process involved several stages.

First, there was an initial online challenge, followed by one or more phone screens.

I had little time to prepare for these once the interview process started and frankly failed spectacularly, which would have been grounds enough for my rejection.

However, one of the interviewers hung up on me, which was rude and awkward. Both were exceedingly difficult to understand, but I am happy that they showcase their diversity, for what it's worth. That was one reason I applied to begin with.

At any rate, it looks like it worked out as it should have.

Hopefully, there will be a better experience next time, if I decide to pursue another interview.
