Backend Engineer Interview Experience - Los Angeles, California

Process

This was truly a strange and disheartening experience.

For my first phone screen interview, I waited on the video call for twenty minutes alone before signing off. My interviewer forgot.

I honestly should have just ended things there, but I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

When I finally did the phone interview, the questions, in my opinion, were not appropriate for the position. It was the exact same type of questions that I ask intern candidates in my current position.

The interviewer did not make any mention of higher-level topics like communication, mentorship, or planning. It was clear to me that he did not value those skills in a senior, whereas I do.

After completing interview #1, they told me that they thought I would be a better fit for a different role, which was okay with me. However, my second interview was very much the same as the first.

After seeing a glimpse of their culture, I honestly do not think that I would have been the right fit.

The unprofessionalism and lack of courtesy in the interview process, and the lack of deep or meaningful interview questions, left me feeling very disappointed.
