Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

Had a tech screen followed by a React interview. The React interview was very interesting, not because of the question, but because of the interviewers.

The question was practical, but the interviewers were expecting it to be done in a very specific way that they wanted. They derailed my implementation a couple of times, which I felt was not necessary and only caused confusion.

I got the sense that the interviewers were just trying to protect themselves from someone who could possibly make changes to the environment they are comfortable with. I was hesitant to write this review, but after reading previous reviews about others having the same experience, I had to write this to validate the previous reviews.

The new director should really review the process to avoid losing top talent.
