Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) Interview Experience - Newark, California
Process
I had a great interview with HR. They were very personable and sounded human and empathetic.
I then moved on to the hiring manager. She was condescending and appeared as though she was doing me a favor by interviewing me. I did very well during the interview, answering her technical questions.
The only question I did not answer correctly was, "What's the code for an unauthorized user trying to log into a system?"
I think I said 503; the correct code is 403. As you can see, I don't have these damn codes memorized. It would only take 30 seconds to find out.
They want robots that fit a certain demographic.
