Software Engineer Interview Experience - Israel

Process

In one word: Disrespectful.

Had two interviews, each one was set to be 45 minutes with a TL.

First interview was OK, second one was the most disrespectful I've encountered.

It was delayed in more than 15 minutes,... Ok this can happen, but instead of still having a 45 minutes interview, it was cut to be 30 minutes where the approach was 'We're short on time and I read your CV, so unless you have some questions, let's go straight to the technical stuff'.

I was presented with a feature, and was asked to say everything that comes to mind (no focus whatsoever)... well, Ok, I get the idea of this kind of interview... I answered the general question but failed to point out the main subject that the interviewer was looking to start the interview with. So I'm sitting there with nothing more to say, and the interviewer says nothing to stir me in the direction he wants... I guess it's pretty hard since he was texting the whole time.

Eventually he did say what he wants to focus on, but during the whole time he was still texting, so everything I said was acknowledged only when he took his eyes off the phone.

All of this stuff made the interview a lot harder than it should have been.

Needless to say - I did not pass. Maybe I'm not good enough, but hey... a candidate makes a large effort coming to an interview and clearing his schedule, I expect the interviewer to do the same thing, especially when he only needs to spare 45 minutes for the interview, while the candidate stays for around 2 hours total.

Questions

Can't specify it.

Basically I was presented with some problems that they've encountered and answered some questions about how I would solve it.
