Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
Dishonest.
This is the first time I passed a technical interview, the code ran, and they failed me anyway. Didn't explain, you say? Nah, every line of code was commented. It's because I made a few syntax mistakes, which were corrected within seconds. This is due to the fact that I use at least another five programming languages.
To the interviewer who was clearly biased and shouldn't be working there, you know who you are. You failed me unfairly. You lied to your manager, stating I did not complete the challenge. I passed that challenge fair and square, fetched the data from the API, with 15 minutes to spare. You will be found out soon enough.
Questions
Asked to fetch JSON data from an API URL using TypeScript.

Most meetings are held taking both East and West Coast business hours into account. Solid leadership. You also get subsidized to free lunches if you work at the NYC office.Cons: None that I can think of, unless you consider the lack of 401k match to be a downside.
