Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

January 1, 2023
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

20-minute recruiter call, then a phone interview.

The interview was really rushed. Squeezing two questions into a 50-minute timeframe is really pushing it.

I think this is a similar experience to a different review. The interviewer basically revealed the solution to the second problem I was having difficulty understanding, instead of trying to collaborate with me on the problem.

Certain aspects of the interview I could have done better, but even as we walked through an example together, I had no idea what was being asked of me. The example itself should contain a graphic or something; it was really hard to understand timestamps and states with just text.
