Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Oakland, California
Process
Received email from a talent recruiter.
Submitted my resume to agency.
Researched client company Marqeta further and requested more information about their API to prep for interview.
Discovered their API exhibited defects, but support was very helpful to resolve within 5 business days.
The phone interview was stressful and the company expected me to have written an application without being told to do so.
The communications during the interview were confusing and disorganized.
I was told the company started in 2012, but the website states 2010, all very confusing.
Questions
Did you write an application using our api?
Was this helpful?
