Software Engineer Interview Experience - Charlotte, North Carolina

January 1, 2015
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Two phone interviews, about one hour each.

Neither interview was especially technical. We discussed the team they were hiring for, the experience and qualities they were looking for, and fairly standard questions for software engineers.

The first interview was with a software engineer on the team. He was friendly and, after looking over my experience, seemed to feel I would be a good fit. After the interview, he passed me on to his supervisor.

The second interview was with his supervisor, the team lead. While he repeated many of the same questions as the first interview, the friendly, casual air was replaced with that of an interrogation. Many of the questions I asked were taken in the most negative context possible, more than once derailing the interview into the interviewer venting about past team members.

I've heard nothing further about this job, but after the last interview, I really didn't want to work with this man, so I haven't followed up about it either.
