Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

'Virtual onsite' in the US:

  • Hectic interviewing process, including a last-minute change of the interview topic and logistical issues like the recruiting coordinator calling during an ongoing interview. I wonder if it reflects the chaos within the company, or if I was just unlucky.

  • A vaguely formulated, poorly scoped coding problem, with an uncooperative interviewer unwilling to clarify the problem statement and discuss trade-offs. It was stated that the problem was practical and related to actual production. That would indicate poor design choices if true.

  • The cultural fit interview significantly overlaps with the behavioral interview; I'm not sure why two sessions were required.
