Senior Software Engineer
Aptitude matters. Coding matters. Clean coding matters. Approach, more than answer, matters. Sometimes, the problem might just be puzzles. And more than solving, how you think about the solution matters more.
Senior Software Engineer
Clearly filling an interview quota. No feedback was provided except "not up to par." They attempted to get me to apply for another position, but I wouldn't unless they gave feedback. There was no contact after that.
Senior Software Engineer
Very disappointed. One interviewer was from a different team (replacing another interviewer) and continued to ask questions on topics that were not very related to the position and that I am not familiar with.
