Software Engineer, University Grad Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

February 1, 2022
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I was contacted by a recruiter who asked for my resume and a few questions about my graduation date and future prospects. (There was also a template section of the email the recruiter forgot to remove or fill out.)

Then I was sent a take-home assessment and scheduled for a code interview. The take-home assessment was standard, aside from the number of questions and short time allotted (about 5 questions in 60 minutes). The interview was also similar, though we only went over two questions.

However, the interviewer was 10 minutes late. They were highly unhelpful and unresponsive during the interview, did not stay longer to make up for being late, and was clearly distracted throughout (I could hear Outlook notifications periodically).

Overall, the experience was highly unprofessional. Of note is that I was contacted a few days after Meta tanked its own stocks.
