Senior Android Developer Interview Experience - Moscow, Russia

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

They asked me to do a "test task" first, which involved implementing a mobile app screen.

The recruiter said it would take about 2 hours, but I spent approximately 12-13 hours on it.

After the task review, which was surprisingly fast (taking only one day), I was invited to an onsite interview.

Upon arriving at the office, the door was closed, and no one answered the only phone number I had.

About 15 minutes later, as I was leaving, they called and asked me to return.

Regarding the interview:

I was asked questions about general topics, such as variable naming, and about architecture.

I was asked about the most interesting application I had worked with. I suggested discussing the home task, and the response was, "OK, if it's the most interesting thing you've done."

As it turned out, only one of the four interviewers had reviewed my home task, and he couldn't recall any significant details, such as patterns or libraries used.

The main interviewer was not friendly and seemed very self-confident. I felt a degree of pressure during the interview.

During the first half of the interview, I considered leaving.

There were questions like, "Have you used ? What do you think of it?", along with some questions about Java and one or two questions about algorithms.

I believe I answered all their questions, although I did not receive an offer, and the recruiter has not provided any specific details.
