Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

A recruiter reached out via email.

After a quick call, I was scheduled for a technical phone screen.

The interviewer turned out to have a really thick Chinese accent. I lost a lot of time trying to understand the interviewer explain their question and then understand my solution.

There is only so many times one can ask someone to repeat themselves.

It would have been nice to be able to interview with someone where communication wasn't the handicap.
