Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

October 6, 2016
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter.

This was followed by a phone interview, where I was rejected.

The recruiter was very nice and responsive. However, I was not happy with the interviewer; it felt like they were trying to pick on me for no reason.

It was a shock that I was rejected because apparently, my coding was not up to par (all other big companies seem to be happy with my coding, though!).

I think they need better interviewers than just asking any random junior person to conduct interviews.
