Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California

September 1, 2018
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter.

The recruiter presented my profile to the hiring manager, who agreed to schedule a phone screen for me.

The phone screen was an hour long and consisted of two simple questions. I answered both satisfactorily.

The following day, the recruiter emailed to inform me that, despite my strong performance, they had decided not to move forward due to a profile mismatch. They offered to provide further explanation, but I have emailed them twice without a response.

This was a poor recruiting experience, in my opinion.
