Senior Android Developer Interview Experience

April 11, 2022

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks.

Recruiter call.
Scheduled code challenge.

For the code challenge, as soon as I joined the interview the interviewer's face looked like he didn't even want to be there. He was on his phone during most of the interview, seemingly very uninterested. I managed to solve the challenge and was even told that most people struggled with that challenge. Almost 2 weeks passed with no updates, and then I received a generic rejection email.

All the disadvantages of being in the startup with none of the advantages

Backend Engineer • Current Employee

November 21, 2019

Pros: Frankly, I can’t think of many. Food and snacks are kind of nice.

Cons: I’m noticing a lots of red flags in the terms of the culture. The product department seems to lack direction, and works on the whims of sales and marketing department. The product keeps on pushing for the features relevant to the small number of the clients, which brings up maintainability overhead for the engineering department. And then complains about the new features not getting developed sooner. CEO regularly comments employees to leave if they have complaints (don’t worry I will soon :)). The monolith code-base and infrastructure is complete mess, and there is not a single architect level engineer to set the future direction to fix these problems.
