Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Weirdest experience ever. I applied through Glassdoor and a third party recruiter contacted me for the process.

They put me in direct touch with a senior director, who sent me an email asking about my interest in the company and one question on Java Generics! I answered the question and he wanted to speak with me. What followed was simply unbelievable. He asked me some lame questions, mentioned he would get back to me after some "thinking". I returned from a toilet break and found his "regret" email within the NEXT minute.

If you have made up your mind on not hiring developers of a certain age group, demography or whatever, why bother to waste everybody's time with this stupidity?

Questions
