Software Developer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

February 1, 2020

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Phone Screen and code Challenge...then ghosting. Sent in the code challenge in which was ridiculously long and was riddled with vagueness and looked like it was thrown together. They had no idea how to open, execute, or view the files. The recruiter is immensely non-responsive and clearly has no idea how to recruit and hides behind the veneer of how great everything is, yet when you ask her about the specifics...she had no idea

Questions

The questions were about how to execute something and were mostly job-related to what to do when there are no processes and working without direction.
