Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California

November 1, 2018
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I was contacted by a recruiter via LinkedIn for a position based in the SF Bay Area.

During the first telephonic interview, we encountered an issue where the code I wrote was not compiling. The code was a simple "Hello, World!" print statement in Scala. The interviewer was kind enough to admit that it was a problem with the online IDE.

After that interview, I sent this observation, along with screenshots of the issue in the online coding environment and proof that the code worked in a popular environment but not in theirs.

The recruiter informed me that he would take care of it.

After a few days, he scheduled another round of phone screen. Surprisingly, the issue was still present, and the interviewer had not been informed about it.

I wrote the code and explained the output, but we could not compile the code.

I think that works against my case.

Both interviewers were nice and warm.
