Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I went to an on-campus interview at the invitation of an MS recruiter.

I showed up on that day. The interviewer was male and looked very tired.

But the worst thing is that he did not listen to my responses at all. When I had questions or wanted to clarify, I always needed to repeat myself many times. He would say, "Aha? Sorry?" Then I would say it again.

This was a very bad experience.
