Sr. Software Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington

October 1, 2021
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The recruiter sent me a wrong link for the interview, which I obtained through a referral from an old coworker. Consequently, the schedule was delayed. Later, we discovered the recruiter was using the wrong job posting.

Finally, the interview was scheduled. At the last minute, it was split into two days.

The last interviewer did not introduce himself and immediately asked about my experience. In between questions, he asked why I was currently employed.

The recruiter had informed me to expect two rounds of coding interviews, but I ended up having four.

Afterward, I never heard back from them, with no email or phone call. It was a very strange experience.
