Software Engineer Interview Experience

February 24, 2022

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

A panel of four people asked very poor questions, yet they seemed to believe they were brilliant for asking them. They requested specific details about a company I previously worked for, which would have constituted a breach of my confidentiality agreement.

Twenty-eight minutes of non-stop questioning left me with only two minutes to ask my own questions. The process was sloppy, and I had expected a higher level of professionalism.

Questions

Tell me the way to optimize the ETL process at XYZ Company in full detail. NO!

Pros: Good resume builder. It's a strong, well-respected company. Their manufacturing processes are top-notch.

Cons: Monolithic, hard to get decisions made. The bureaucracy of getting things done can be frustrating at times, although it does improve the quality of the products. It's a Type "A" place, where people feel free to yell at times. Depends on the situation, however if you are thin-skinned, or have your feelings easily hurt, this may not be the place for you.
