Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience

May 14, 2025
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.

I was asked to complete a take-home assignment and encouraged to use AI, which seemed forward-thinking, so I gave it a shot. A few days later, I was told the team loved it and wanted to move forward with scheduling interviews with hiring managers. From there, communication slowed significantly. Recruiters were unresponsive and slow to schedule, which often signals a lack of serious intent or internal disorganization.

When I finally spoke with a hiring manager, he yawned repeatedly and seemed completely disengaged. After putting in real effort, it was disheartening to be met with such a lack of professionalism. A week later, I received a generic rejection, along with a note saying company policy prevents them from giving feedback.

Overall, it felt like a disorganized startup with possible headcount issues or internal turmoil. I wouldn’t recommend wasting time in interviewing here.

Questions

I was asked to complete a tech test using AI, followed by a technical screen and a behavioral interview with the hiring manager, which included standard behavioral questions.
