Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

Recruiter reached out to me. They don't even do their own interviews, they outsource to a company in India.

The interviewer was very disinterested, not collaborative at all, they just asked the question they were told to ask, told you time is up for a certain question, and then moved onto the next. They didn't care because they're not going to end up working with you.

Questions

Parse logs, but lots to consider. If you don't pass the test case, you fail. Very black and white because they're lazy.
