Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I interviewed for one of the Autonomous Vehicle divisions. It was a standard tech interview process:

  • Phone screen with Recruiter
  • Tech screen focusing on domain experience
  • Tech screen focusing on coding
  • A day-long virtual interview with 5 separate interviews, a mix of domain experience and coding.

There were a couple of follow-up conversations to discuss the role and the interviews. Overall, I had a negative experience, which ultimately led me to decline the offer.

The recruiter scoffed at my compensation request and really tried to downplay my experience and skill level to justify a lower offer. Another company I eventually accepted didn't even blink at my request; the difference was approximately $80,000.

The recruiter was also dismissive of my wishes to push my start date by three weeks, wanting me to quit my previous role and start the next week.
