Software Engineer Interview Experience

February 1, 2015
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied via LinkedIn.

A recruiter approached me to schedule an interview.

I had 5 years of software development experience. The interviewers were two individuals: one with 9 months of work experience and the other with 2 years of work experience.

The style of the interview was immature. They asked me "silly" programming questions, pointing out syntax errors and indentations. I became completely frustrated, as they started giving more importance to syntax than the logic.
