Forward Deployment Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
After talking to the recruiter, a technical interview was scheduled.
To my surprise, the same question was asked which two more reviews had highlighted: the food delivery question. I provided an answer where I had to implement three APIs, which I did, and all of them passed their test cases on the first attempt.
After that, they added one more question that I logically explained but wasn't able to complete because of time constraints. I was positive that I would get a second round. But I got rejected, and when I reached out to the recruiter for some feedback, he just ghosted me.
The technical interviewers seemed disinterested and were looking for an answer they had in their minds. Many times, they would zone out, and when asked questions, they would guide you in the wrong direction. You needed to revert your earlier implementation because of their mistakes. Also, the meeting scheduler messed up the time zone.
Overall, a very unprofessional experience from such a big company.
