Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I was rejected by the HR recruiter during the initial "culture screen" because they didn't believe that I would pass the technical screen.
So, let me get this straight: a non-technical recruiter inferred that I wasn't tech-savvy after a 30-minute call that was completely behavioral? How does that make any sense?
It seems like a very pretentious bunch of people.
Questions
Classic behavioral jargon.
