Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks.

It took almost a month just to get to the second interview. There was a lot of miscommunication, technical problems, and lengthy times without communication.

The first interview was with a hiring manager and I was not told that it would be technical, but it was easy enough. The hiring manager mentioned that the company had openings for front end and back end, so I decided to go for the front end role.

The second part was a take-home assignment. It was supposed to be a few hours only, but after reviewing the requirements, it was clearly about a day and a half. There was an option to do front end only, but the instructions were poor. The take-home assignment follow-up interview asked nothing about the front end portion of my code. No more interviews after that.
