Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
Video call with CoderPad. Basic behavioral questions where the interviewer didn't seem very interested in my responses. Then for the CoderPad session the engineer stated he only knew frontend.
I coded in Python and explained my thought process. He seemed to be working on something else while I was coding and didn't respond to my comments until I said I believe I have it working. He questioned my logic, I then ran test cases and showed the solution was valid. Very concerning the interviewer seemed to write me off for lack of frontend experience as the job posting only listed Go and Java.
