Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I was contacted by recruiters through LinkedIn. The process took less than a week, involving an initial phone interview followed by another phone screen.

After two days, the recruiter responded with a negative outcome. The questions were straightforward, with no tricks or difficult problems. However, even if you made a mistake and corrected it, it could still be flagged as a red flag. The speed of response was also very important.

The recruiter didn't have many details to share, stating that "nothing was serious, but this is how it works." I was unsure of the criteria they used for judgment.
