Software Engineer Interview Experience

November 14, 2016
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The interview process was very normal, with two phone screens followed by onsite interviews.

While I've interviewed at many companies before, this was the only one where I had a really negative experience. The interviewer showed up late and was uninterested throughout the entire process.

This was also the first time I was rejected after answering all questions correctly. I'm really not sure what their hiring criteria are.
