Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York

Process

I had a phone interview, and then an onsite (3 interviews + demo). My main recruiter essentially didn't contact me aside from scheduling. I had another recruiter ask for a phone call with me as a follow-up to my phone interview, which was kind of random as my original recruiter didn't say anything about this. It went well but had to be rescheduled twice, once without notice (where I was only told the day after). I was not given any details about the onsite prior to getting there except the FAQ and some other documents, and the time I would be starting. The FAQ said my recruiter would contact me prior to the onsite with more information regarding the day, but they never did. I was also left in the interview room with no idea of when my interviewer would get there or when my next interview would start. The interviewers were pleasant for the most part, although felt really rushed and on a time crunch. They all seemed to be running late though. I wasn't given an office tour, with the exception of 'Here's the dining area and the rooms are all named after a theme.' My recruiter didn't seem to enjoy my presence. The demo was pretty good though; I learned a lot more about the company and the answers the presenter had to the questions asked seemed genuine.
