Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Process
The interview process began with a screening interview, followed by an on-site interview with three developers. The interviewers were not particularly helpful, and I struggled to understand their questions.
Since I was present for five hours and eventually became hungry, it would have been beneficial if food had been provided.
Additionally, receiving feedback from the interviewers would have been appreciated.
