Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience

February 1, 2024
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online.

The process was a recruiter call, algorithm coding, architecture, more algorithm coding, and a director or VP meet-and-greet. I didn't even attempt to get past the recruiter call. Most recruiters are not the brightest bulbs, and she was definitely on the dimmer side. She couldn't answer basic questions around culture and internal workings, and she couldn't deal with any kind of questioning around why they are not flexible with work arrangements. She attempted to gaslight me. Overall, it seems like they're five to ten years behind the times with a butts-in-seats mentality.
