Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

October 1, 2015
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week.

I interviewed at LendingClub (San Francisco, CA) in October 2015.

Interview

  • Phone screen with recruiter.
  • Online programming test.
  • Onsite interview within a week of completing programming test.
  • At the on-site interview, I met with 2 managers, 2 engineers, and 1 Development VP.

Four of the interviewers were very friendly and the questions were relatively straightforward. The four interviews were evaluating what I knew and what I could do.

The fifth interviewer came in with an air of superiority and was downright rude when I couldn't decipher his questions. Vague questions with biting remarks when I tried to respond based on my experience, using technical jargon. It was evident that he did not want me.

Highly unprofessional interviewer. Looking at other reviews on Glassdoor, I am not the first person to encounter this interviewer.

Fortunately, I did not get the job. I would not have wanted to work with him after such bad treatment. I have dissuaded a couple of my friends from interviewing at this place.
