Software Engineer Interview Experience

November 1, 2014
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I was referred by an employee and had two back-to-back phone interviews.

The first interviewer arrived half an hour late. They did not extend the interview, and my second interview was delayed.

The first interviewer did not offer many hints. Whenever I asked questions, she would say, "What do you think?"

The second interviewer was much better. However, because we were running late, I did not get to finish my code.
