Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I interviewed remotely and had 4 interviews in 3 days. Those were 2 Pair Programming, 1 system design and 1 behavioral interviews.

The 2 pair programming ones were supposed to be pair programming where the person conducting the interview was busy eating on the screen and it seems like I was talking to myself the entire interview with no pairing at all. The 2nd one was a bit better but still not working like a peer, more like a lead looking at a junior dev. The system design was totally off from what they said it would be. The behavioral one had issues where the interviewer at the beginning wanted to take a break and once we came back he had power issues.

Questions

I did pair programming without a peer.
