Software Engineer Interview Experience - Paris, France
Process
For the technical test feedback, the two people in front of me were extremely unpleasant and spoke to me in a peremptory tone.
They asked me questions that didn't make technical sense, or made false remarks. I calmly corrected them each time, but I could see they didn't like it.
I quickly understood that they were using outdated technologies and had no desire to hear about updating anything.
One of the two people in the discussion seemed completely dominated by the other, despite having a very senior title.
In short, it was not appealing.
