Software Engineer I Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
Overall, the process was good. I just felt that for the position I was interviewing for, they had already selected someone and were just going through the motions. They had previously told me that I had cleared the telephone round.
When the recruiter called to inform me of the result, they mentioned I had less experience compared to the person the team had selected.
I felt really bad because they should not have invited me to interview if I lacked the necessary experience.
