Software Engineer Interview Experience

April 24, 2017
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The process was pretty standard. It started with an initial phone screen, followed by a live coding exercise on HackerRank. I don't think the interview itself was too bad, but I would consider the experience negative overall.

HR was very slow and inconsistent in responding. The tech screen was fairly easy, but I received no response until I e-mailed multiple times over the course of a few days, about two weeks after my interview. Once they did respond, I received a boilerplate rejection less than five minutes later.

When I asked for feedback, I received two different e-mails from two different recruiters:

  • One stating that they do not provide feedback.
  • Another providing some general "we moved forward with other candidates" feedback.

The inconsistent and slow responses from HR after a tech screen that seemed to go fine was a bit offputting.

Questions

Standard HackerRank / algorithm questions. OOP.
