Software Engineer Interview Experience - Tampa, Florida

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Contacted by recruiter, set up phone interview. Spoke with interviewer and was asked to implement Fibonacci sequence. Knowing that there are several methods of implementing it based on what is important (space, runtime) and what the goal is (for N > large values there's a constant time solution), interviewer was unable to answer questions on the use and instead just told me to "just write something." I proceeded to implement the algorithm three ways.

I asked a friend there if he knew the interviewer; found out later that the interviewer was reading off a script and that's why he couldn't explain the requirements better.

Several weeks later was told they decided not to continue forward.
