Entry Level Software Engineer Interview Experience

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Was recommended through the internal system.

They were very prompt in responding and flexible when I asked to move the interview earlier to accommodate another offer.

The phone interview was poor. The interviewer clearly did not wish to be there. They didn't bother to turn off notifications on their computer, or even mute them. The email specifically stated coding questions would go through website X. The interviewer disagreed and wanted to use website Y. This would have been fine, but I spent half an hour familiarizing myself with X. Y was also clunky and froze when the interviewer was copying my code. The interviewer then asked me to start a session and supply her with the URL.

I struggled with the question, and she made things worse. At the end, she said, "Time's up," and hung up within thirty seconds.
