Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

Really wild expectations for engineers. Interviewed for a mid-level position, and the interviewing engineer expected me to know everything in the world. From frontend to backend to sockets to databases to deployment and scaling. What's worse, is that the engineer was smirking when I couldn't answer.. like good for you bro, working at Micro1.., but have some decency.

This is an interview not a competition. It's also likely a slave mill. The engineer was working at 9PM, and when I asked about work life he said you're expected to work a lot(in his mind it was super positive which is fine for him).
