Software Development Engineer in Test Interview Experience - Bengaluru, India

Process

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days.

I was contacted by their HR team. She was quite helpful in explaining all the work Harness is doing. She scheduled a video call for 2 hours. I joined on time, but the interviewer was late. I informed the HR about it, and she told me to join after 10 minutes. I joined back after 10 minutes, and the interviewer also joined after a couple of minutes. The interviewer didn't have any basic courtesy to at least apologize for the delay. Then the interview started, and he said one line in his intro with pride: "I am a principal engineer here." Then he passed it on to me and asked for my detailed intro

. There was so much attitude for being a principal engineer (even the CEO gives a little more intro).

After my intro, he started asking questions. His voice was not clear, though, and I was facing problems in understanding his expectations. Hence, I asked a few questions to understand his expectations. I felt that he was getting irritated with my questions. Anyway, I was able to answer the first few questions correctly. While answering, I also noticed that after my answer, he used to put a new condition (which was not told at the start of the question) and made my answer look wrong. After 2-3 questions, he said he was running out of time (by the way, his calendar was blocked for 2 hours for this interview; I don't know how he ran out of time).

Just a suggestion as a candidate: please treat a candidate as you want to be treated. You are working in a small startup and not in Google. Please don't have that much attitude. Also, don't just judge any candidate by just one answer.
