Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Diego, California

January 1, 2016
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The interview starts with a brief phone interview with HR, followed by the hiring manager.

They ask you to prepare a program before coming in and to present it. I was impressed with that part of the interview, but that was the extent of it.

The staff they have focus on a lot of details that don't really address whether you're a good engineer or not. They were more interested in the minutiae of the language than anything else. It was also frustrating that they gave no time for you to ask questions or get a feel for exactly what they were looking for.

It seemed to me they were more interested in their own needs than having a mutually beneficial conversation. I really felt this wasn't a fit for them or me after I left and wouldn't have taken an offer if one was given. The pay was too low, and the job seemed like you'd be battling your way through all the time.
