Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

A recruiter contacted me through LinkedIn.

We scheduled a call for a specific time.

She called about 15 minutes later than the time she specified.

She seemed to be in a rush and wanted to get through her generic questions quickly, moving on to the next person.

It didn't feel like she genuinely wanted to learn about me or assess my fit for the role.

She asked basic questions such as what I'd like to work on and my areas of expertise.

I wanted to ask some questions, but she interrupted me before I could even begin.

After the phone call, I decided not to continue with the process.
