Senior Software Development Engineer In Test Interview Experience - San Mateo, California

January 1, 2022
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

1st round - recruiter call.

2nd - hiring manager round with live coding and some testing-related questions.

3rd - coding round plus some automation questions.

4th - coding round plus some technical questions.

5th - general discussion with hiring manager, discussion on your previous project experiences.

I cleared all the rounds, and the next day the recruiter called me and offered me the position. I verbally accepted it and was looking forward to the offer letter as she mentioned that I could expect it within a day!

One week passed, no update even after constant follow-ups. They wouldn't pick calls or reply to emails.

Second week: Recruiter sent an email stating that the legal department did not approve my offer as I didn't have enough visa validity (but I had 2 years of validity).

I shared the necessary documents to prove my validity with them.

Third week: As usual, no response from the recruiter after constant follow-ups.

Finally, she sent an email stating the same reason!

Totally disappointed and wasted three weeks on this offer!

I had high hopes for this one and almost risked losing my other offer as I was sitting on this for three weeks!
