Senior Software Developer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
The interview process hardly took 20 minutes. It was a phone interview scheduled for 3:30 PM. However, the interviewer called me half an hour before (3:00 PM), seeming to be in a hurry. He asked about my projects and basic questions in Core Java, Spring, JMS, etc. From the questions asked, he was trying to understand if the candidate was good enough with the fundamentals.

- 2.0Highly regulated project down the drain due to lack of leadershipSenior Software Developer • Former EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesFebruary 24, 2017Pros: They invested a fortune in generic facilities available across departments, including automating service requests.Cons: There is no way to get help from a human being when you're stuck. You need to be a developer, SA, DBA, HR, and a few other roles to get *anything* done, allocated, or built. Managers don't enforce their own rules and let junior developers run amok, leading to constant rewriting and refactoring of code that doesn't support requirements.
