Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I was contacted by LinkedIn and had my first technical interview. The interviewer was very respectful and nice, so it went well.

I then had a conversation with another recruiter who exhibited very bad practices. I sent my schedule for the onsite interview, but I didn't hear from them for weeks. Another recruiter then contacted me to reschedule. A day before the interview, it was canceled, and we had to reschedule once again.

The onsite was the worst experience I've had in my life as an engineer. There was no introduction, just a rush to start the craft demo. I didn't have any time to ask questions to the interviewers. They expected me to finish the entire demo in two hours, from scratch. Additionally, I was attacked several times by someone who seemed to want to show off their terrible skills and communication. At one point, I had to stop talking and remain neutral.

That was the WORST experience I've had. I will never apply to that institution again. The interview was so disorganized, and the entire time they compared this awful process to the Amazon interview process.

If I was treated like that during the interview, I cannot imagine working there.

Fortunately, I never heard back from them to say if I passed, failed, or if they stopped hiring, which I am glad for.
