Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

January 1, 2013
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Java interview

  1. Phone discussion with recruiter and hiring manager.
  2. In-person visit to the HQ.
  3. Great office setup, I must say.
  4. The VP of technology talked to me, briefed me about the position, and tried to understand my past experience.
  5. One engineer and one project manager talked to me about Java.
  6. The CTO talked about the company and plans for the team.

I really enjoyed talking to the senior people, except the engineer. All great people. With the engineer, I think he was really rude, with zero interviewing skills. Throughout the discussion, he tried to convey that he was more technically sound than me, instead of trying to judge what I could do for the team and company. After talking to him, I realized that it is not a company where I want to see myself.

Note to hiring manager: People in the interview team are responsible for picturing the company culture in front of the candidate.
