Forward Deployed Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York

Process

The recruiter reached out to me via LinkedIn and was very pleasant. However, the rest of the process was pretty frustrating. I got flaked on for various phone calls 3 or 4 times (after making arrangements to work from home to take a call) and the on-site was rescheduled twice.

I found the technical questions on the easier side, compared to other companies I interviewed with. Interviewers were exclusively 20-something white dudes, and (with one exception) they seemed pretty checked out. I have something of a non-traditional background for a SWE and the recruiter thought it would be relevant to the FDSE role, but I didn't get a lot of interest on that front from my interviewers. At the end of the on-site, another recruiter (kind of awkwardly) assured me that there would be some further steps. I got a form letter rejection 2 days later and no further feedback or communication.
